Electric tension. Smells like smashing two rocks together. Lime, gooseberry, white peach. Like the Millenium Falcon entering warp speed. Probably would’ve called Premier Cru Chablis in a blind. — 6 months ago

Blackberry, floral, black cherry, so deep and almost Syrah like nose. Syrah/Pinot hybrid. Elegant, sappy and pure. Classic Girard balance. Smooth even though I hate this word. So fresh with ripe tannins but provide terrific structure and depth. — 9 months ago

Chilled this burgundy felt restrained, minimal, and one dimensional. As it opened up though, paired with a delicious bouillabaisse, escargot and the best foie gras I’ve ever had, thus started to really come into its own. Medium body, a refined minerality but with delicious notes of crisp apple, baking spice, and an some richer, pastry like notes on the finish, this wine truly came into its own with some warmth and time. Not too rich, not too dry, a perfect balance of crisp fruit, minerality, and baked richness for shellfish dishes with a tomato base. — 2 years ago

My favorite Pernand 1er Cru. Classic nose of dark cherry fruit, brambly berry fruit, wild mint, spearmint, desiccated leaves, sous bois and citrus rind. Very complex and pure. So Fichots. Grippy, gritty, silky and dense with dark cherry fruit and forest floor inner mouth aromas and silky but substantial tannins. Needs air. Wonderful. As this airs the tannins smooth out and the energy increases as does the length.

What a nose of sour cherries, ripe red apple, earthiness mid season cherries and so sappy. So elegant, unctuous and wide. Perfect balance and drinking at peak. No rush but drink up. — 8 months ago

The perfect wine to wind down a long week. Bright fruit flavors of raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb, and a bit of cherry cola also. Fun and casual. 100% Counoise. 4/7/23. — a year ago

In the zone! Deep, ripe black and red cherries and lovely mossy earth. Ripe and with a lipstick like intensity. Palate is deep, rich, ripe and concentrated but with beguiling freshness and wonderful purity. Lots of grip and cut. Really intense due to low yields but still has that Girard drinkability factor. So so good. Velvety, ripe and sweet tannins. Super overachiever in 16. A great wine! — 3 years ago

2023. Diverted my latest shipment from the D&G club to NE since I knew I’d be back for the holidays. I’m glad they included this gulpable “nouveau” again this year. Paired great with local chèvre and olive sourdough! — 6 months ago

This was a surprise. The body was lighter than I expected, the nose practically busting with forest floor and dusty ripe red fruits, dusty tannins, but for this meal it paired perfectly. Drank at Arnaud’s in New Orleans. #pinotforpresident — 2 years ago
