Description
Still white wine from Burgundy, 13% ABV, produced by Vincent Girardin. 100% Chardonnay, 2022 vintage. A Meursault Vieilles Vignes that embodies the elegance and complexity of great Burgundy whites. The soils are of two different types: old Callovian limestone on one side and marly Argovian rock on the other. The grapes are harvested by hand, sorted in the vineyard and then in the cellar, and finally pressed to achieve slow extraction. The grapes are placed in 500-liter French oak barrels (10% new barrels) where alcoholic and malolactic fermentation will take place using native yeasts and bacteria. It will age extensively on the fine lees for 15 months. The wine is not stirred. Bottling takes place according to the lunar calendar. A delicious blend of toasted almonds and hazelnuts with vegetal and floral notes (hawthorn, elderberry, fern, lime, verbena) and mineral notes (flint). Butter, honey, and citrus also captivate the nose. On the palate, a rich wine with a nutty, passionate, and joyful flavor. A beautiful balance between smoothness and freshness. Long and structured.

Pairings
The history of Maison Vincent Girardin is relatively recent. In 1980, at the age of 19, Vincent Girardin, the son of a family of winegrowers based in Santenay since the 17th century, decided to strike out on his own, and began producing wine from two hectares of vines that he had inherited from his parents.
From his earliest youth Vincent had a passion for working with vines, and great respect for the potential that they represent; his ambition was to produce his own wine.
The quality of his wines was quickly recognized by connoisseurs all over the world, and this enabled him to expand his activity, focusing primarily on the great white and red wines of the Côte de Beaune.
