The 2011 Les Perrières from Vincent Girardin is a beautifully poised and finely etched wine, reflecting the vintage’s approachable charm through a lens of precise mineral tension. The bouquet opens with aromas of white peach, lemon oil, pear skin, and acacia blossom, layered with hints of hazelnut, chalk dust, and gentle spice. On the palate, the wine is supple yet focused, offering a graceful interplay of ripe orchard fruit and vibrant acidity supported by a detailed limestone-driven backbone. Flavors of citrus, stone fruit, and subtle toasted nuances unfold with clarity, leading into a long, elegant finish marked by purity, lift, and refined persistence. Now entering a lovely phase of early maturity, the 2011 Les Perrières shows both harmony and depth—an expressive, classically styled Puligny of quiet sophistication. 

Domaine Vincent Girardin is one of the leading modern voices in Puligny-Montrachet, known for crafting Chardonnay of precision, purity, and graceful mineral drive. Rooted in meticulous vineyard work and sustainable farming, the domaine focuses on expressing terroir with clarity, emphasizing gentle pressing, native-yeast fermentations, and a restrained use of oak to maintain balance and tension. Les Perrières, one of Puligny’s most esteemed Premier Crus, sits on the mid-slope where thin, chalk-rich soils and excellent drainage yield wines of striking finesse, floral lift, and stony depth. Under Girardin’s refined, detail-oriented approach, Les Perrières becomes a cuvée of crystalline texture and quiet power, consistently admired for its elegance and longevity.
