Vincent Girardin, Mersault Village, 'Vieilles Vignes', Chardonnay, Meursault, Cote de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Vincent Girardin, was born with a passion for wine.
The history of Maison Vincent Girardin is relatively recent. In 1980 Vincent Girardin, the son of a family of winegrowers since the 17th century, decided to strike out on his own, and began producing wine from two hectares of vines that he had inherited from his parents.
The vines are located in the commune of Meursault. The wine is 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 flavour, fond and joyful. Beautiful balance between unctuousness and freshness. Long and structured. Ideal pairing with blue cheeses and foie gras, veal or poultry and grilled shellfish.
