Domaine Vincent Girardin - Cuvée Saint Vincent 2022
Domaine Vincent Girardin is located in Meursault, in the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy . In 1980, at the age of 19, Vincent Girardin, from a winemaking family in Santenay since the 17th century, wanted to become independent and started with the two hectares of vines inherited from his parents. Very quickly, the quality of its wines was recognized worldwide and allowed it to expand its activity by focusing mainly on the great whites and reds of the Côte de Beaune (Meursault, Puligny Montrachet, Chassagne Montrachet, Saint Aubin, Santenay , Savigny Les Beaune, Aloxe Corton, Volnay and Pommard). In 2012, Vincent Girardin sold his business to a historic partner of the House: Monsieur Nié , President of the Compagnie des Vins d'Autreviens in Beaune.
The Cuvée Saint Vincent Blanc comes from Chardonnay vines approximately 35 years old, located in the Côte de Beaune regional appellation area. The grapes are pressed, then settled and the grape must is placed in 500 liter French oak barrels (without new barrels) in which fermentations take place (alcoholic and malolactic). Aging lasts 10 months on lees , without stirring. One month before bottling, the wine from the different barrels is placed in stainless steel vats for blending. Bottling is done according to the lunar calendar.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
