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 delicious combination of roasted almond and hazelnut with vegetal and floral (hawthorn, elderberry, fern, linden, verbena) and mineral (flint) notes. Butter, honey, citrus fruits also solicit the nose. On the palate, a rich wine with a hazelnut flavor, fond and joyful. Beautiful balance between unctuousness and freshness. Long and structured.
