Santenay 1er Cru - Domaine Justin Girardin ‘Clos Rousseau’

This producer’s vineyards are well sheltered, enabling the grapes to ripen to perfection, producing a very aromatic, well-balanced wine. Spending 15 months in oak barrels gives this wine a fantastic structure. The vines are over 45 years old resulting in a delicate yet complex Burgundy that is becoming a firm favourite with many. 

The Girardin family has been in Burgundy since 1570.

Justin is the 13th generation managing the 17 hectares family estate, from Santenay to Savigny-les-Beaune. Well aware of the exceptional character of the terroirs, he puts his know-how at the service of the vines to make the best wine every year.
