Region: Burgundy, France

Vintage: 2020

Composition: Chardonnay

History: Vincent Girardin is a highly regarded Burgundy domaine based in Meursault. It makes a wide range of wines from both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay although the latter predominates. Most holdings span the Côte de Beaune, from grand cru sites such as Le Montrachet and Corton-Charlemagne, through premiers crus in Chassagne and Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin and Santenay, all the way down to vineyards at village-level and regional appellations.

Tasting Notes:

A slight hint of vanilla and gentle smoke give a mellow edge to red-cherry fruit on the nose of this wine. The palate comes in with freshness, enlivened by peppery spice. Subtle tannins give just a little crunch while red cherry highlights everything.
