The estate and the wine |
|
|
Voted " Wine merchant of the year 2023 " by the RVF, Maison Vincent Girardin is at the top of the Burgundy wine hierarchy. With uncompromising consistency, its highly seductive wines express themselves in a modern style, at once unctuous and concentrated, with a nice body.
Entirely converted to biodynamic viticulture and described as an "exceptional estate" by Robert Parker, the House produces wines that are highly sought-after by Burgundy's greatest connoisseurs. |

Fresh and full-bodied, the 2021 white Meursault Les Vieilles Vignes benefits from a blend of plots combining limestone and marl terroirs. Aged in 500-liter barrels with very little new wood, this white delivers lovely notes of toasted almond and hazelnut with a floral touch (hawthorn, fern, lime blossom, verbena), butter and flint. The palate is rich, with delicate honey, citrus, white fruit and hazelnut aromas, fresh and unctuous, long and structured. Enjoy with shellfish or white meat, or why not fois gras au naturel? |
