Benoît Girardin Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2024 – Bourgogne AOC Rode Wijn

Benoît Girardin is a young and ambitious producer from southern Burgundy, working parcels around Santenay and nearby villages. The estate focuses on terroir expression, precision, and minimal intervention winemaking. The style is pure, refined, and driven by elegance rather than extraction or weight.

The 2023 Bourgogne Pinot Noir is a classic regional expression made from 100% Pinot Noir. The nose shows fresh aromas of red cherry, raspberry and strawberry, alongside floral notes such as rose petals and a subtle earthy, spicy undertone.

On the palate it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and soft, silky tannins. The structure is elegant and smooth, with a fresh fruit core and gentle spice adding depth and complexity.

The finish is refined, fresh and elegant, making this an approachable yet characterful Burgundy Pinot Noir, ideal with poultry, charcuterie, mushrooms and light meat dishes.
