2024 Philippe Girard - St. Aubin en la Ranchee (750ml)

 Domaine Philippe Girard has farmed in Savigny-lès-Beaune for five centuries, and this St-Aubin 1er Cru comes from a nearly one-hectare, east-facing hillside parcel with 20-year-old vines on limestone soils. Expect a golden hue with aromas of white flowers, flint, green almond, and orange blossom, leading to a firm, complete palate with real depth. Aged 8–10 months in oak with 20–30% new barrels, this is textbook St-Aubin — a step up in complexity from village-level white Burgundy at a fraction of Puligny or Chassagne pricing.
