History: The history of Maison Vincent Girardin is relatively recent. In 1980, at the age of 19, Vincent Girardin, the son of a family of viticulturists based in Santenay since the 17th century, decided to produce wine from five acres of vines he had inherited from his parents. From his early youth, Vincent had a passion for working with vines and a great respect for the potential they represent; His ambition was to produce his own wine. The quality of his wines was quickly recognized by connoisseurs around the world, and this allowed him to expand his activity, concentrating mainly on the great white and red wines of the Côte de Beaune. To cope with the growing demand for his wines, he developed a new approach in Burgundy: buying grapes from producers who shared the same philosophy and the same high standards. After experimenting with biodynamic methods between 2007 and 2010, they now give preference to buying grapes from vineyards managed according to the following principles: no herbicides or insecticides, deep plowing, use of natural compost from farms in the Burgundy region.

Tasting Notes:

A pleasant, fruity, fleshy and ample wine. Juicy with a bit of walnut, earth and tobacco. Some lateral tannins and a slight dryness in the finish.
