Description
The grandeur and elegance of a fine Burgundy wine
The producer
The history of the beautiful Vincent Girardin house began in 1980. Vincent Girardin was born into a family that have been winemakers since the 17th century. At the age of 19, he began producing wine with the two hectares of vines that he had inherited from his parents. A winemaker at heart and a passionate one at that, Vincent Girardin quickly made a name for himself among the great names of the Côte de Beaune. Founded in 1992, the Vincent Girardin house has since become one of the finest references among great Burgundy wines. Since 2000, the talented Eric Germain has been following in Vincent Girardin's footsteps, passionately revealing the exceptional Premiers Crus and Grands Crus terroirs that surround Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet.
The vineyard
Vincent Girardin's Volnay Village "Vieilles Vignes" 2019 is made from a plot located in the south-east of the village of Volnay in "Les Blanches", "Les grands Champs" and "Les Pluchots" appellations. The vines are 65 years old and are planted on limestone, stony, ferruginous, reddish soil and brown silt.
The vinification and ageing
The hand-picked grapes are harvested then sorted, crushed and destemmed. Following cold maceration for several days, temperature controlled fermentation begins with pumping over and punching down. Following pneumatic pressing, the wine is put into barrels, of which about 30% are new, to begin the 14-month ageing period. One month before bottling, the wines are blended in tanks without fining and with only a light filtration. Bottling is in line with the lunar calendar.
