Vincent Girardin : Puligny-Montrachet Village "Vieilles Vignes" 2022

Vincent Girardin: the elegance of a white Burgundy wine

The estate

Founded in 1980 by a young 19-year-old winegrower, Vincent Girardin, the house draws its roots from a centuries-old winemaking tradition. Heir to a family of winegrowers dating back to the 17th century, Vincent transformed two family-owned hectares into a prestigious benchmark of the Côte de Beaune. Since 2000, Éric Germain has carried on this passion, revealing with finesse the exceptional terroirs of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet.

The vineyard

This Puligny-Montrachet wine is crafted from 40-year-old vines rooted in clay-marl limestone soils, producing a Chardonnay of remarkable elegance.

Winemaking and aging

Each bunch is carefully selected, first in the vineyard and then in the cellar. A gentle pressing, fermentation in French oak barrels (15% new) with indigenous yeasts, and aging on fine lees for 14 months without bâtonnage: every step is designed to preserve the essence of the terroir.
