Tasting Notes
One of Chassagne’s greatest sites. Taut, mineral, and built for time.
Tension. Precision. Power.
One of Chassagne’s most revered sites, often spoken of in the same breath as the very best. You can see why. But it doesn’t need the comparison.
The nose is deep and composed. Citrus peel, white flowers, wet stone, with a gentle veil of popcorn that slowly lifts, revealing more with time in the glass.
On the palate, it’s all lime and energy. Taut, mineral, and driving. A chalky, saline edge cuts through the core, giving it real definition and focus. There’s weight here, but it never shows itself fully. Everything is held tight, controlled, precise.
This is not a wine that gives everything away. Not yet.
It holds back, slowly building, promising more with time.

The Plot
La Romanée is one of the most highly regarded Premier Cru sites in Chassagne-Montrachet, known for producing wines of intensity, structure, and longevity. The vineyard sits on classic clay-limestone soils with a strong chalk influence, contributing to the wine’s tension, minerality, and ageing potential.
Technical Details
100% Chardonnay from the Premier Cru La Romanée vineyard in Chassagne-Montrachet, grown on clay-limestone soils with a high proportion of chalk, supporting both structure and precision.
In the cellar, the approach follows the domaine’s signature style. Whole bunches are pressed long and firmly to extract maximum lees, with controlled oxidation only at this early stage. Fermentation takes place in custom 456-litre barrels for both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, limiting oak influence and allowing the vineyard character to lead. From pressing to bottling, the wine is protected with nitrogen, preserving tension, energy, and a tightly wound structure designed for ageing.

Discover Their Story
The story begins in 2017. At just eighteen years old, Pierre-Vincent Girardin founded his own domaine, working with a handful of exceptional vineyard parcels retained from his family’s historic holdings.
Raised in Meursault and shaped by generations of Burgundian winemaking, he works organically in the vineyards and has rapidly forged a style defined by purity, precision and energy. Already being compared to Coche-Dury & Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, from the first taste, it’s clear why.
Why It Matters

Hand Harvested

Premier Cru Classification

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now, but a little patience could make it even more rewarding. Open one soon, then tuck another away if you want to watch it develop.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
