Vincent Girardin : Saint-Aubin 1er cru "En Remilly" 2021

The freshness and minerality of a Burgundy white wine

The estate

The story of the beautiful Vincent Girardin house began in 1980. At the age of 19, Vincent Girardin joined the family profession of winemaking that it had been doing since the 17th century. He began his activities with the two hectares of vines he inherited from his parents. A passionate winegrower at heart, Vincent Girardin quickly made a name for himself among the great names of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. Founded in 1992, Vincent Girardin has since become one of the finest references in the appellation. Since 2000, the talented Eric Germain has been following in Vincent Girardin's footsteps, bringing out with passion the exceptional terroirs of Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet.

The vineyard

This Premier Cru Saint-Aubin En Remilly 2021 is made from vines over 50 years old. The vineyard is situated mid-slope on shallow, stony soil facing due south.

Winemaking and ageing

The grapes are carefully selected from the vines and on arrival at the winery. After gentle pressing and settling, the must is placed in 500-litre French oak barrels (10% new) to begin fermentation under the influence of indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged on fine lees for 15 months without stirring. The wines are lightly filtered and bottled according to the lunar calendar.

Grape variety

Chardonnay (100%)
