Girardin’s biodynamic approach, led by winemaker Eric Germain, shapes this wine. The 2022 vintage undergoes gentle fermentation in stainless steel with minimal intervention, followed by 12 months of aging in French oak barrels (20% new). This process preserves fruit purity while adding subtle oak structure, creating a light-bodied Pinot Noir with silky tannins and bright acidity, ideal for early enjoyment.

The nose reveals crunchy raspberry, ripe strawberry, and red cherry, with hints of forest floor, spice, and savory oak. On the palate, it’s light-bodied and silky, with fresh acidity, soft tannins, and flavors of red fruit, licorice, and a clean, mineral finish.
