WINE DESCRIPTION
Vincent Girardin's Les Vieilles Vignes Meursault is an exquisite white wine from the renowned Meursault appellation in Burgundy, France. This wine is made from Chardonnay grapes sourced from old vines ("vieilles vignes"), which are known for producing fruit of exceptional concentration and complexity. Vincent Girardin, a name synonymous with fine Burgundian wines, crafts this Meursault with a commitment to expressing the terroir's unique characteristics. The vineyards are managed with sustainable practices to preserve the health of the vines and the environment. The winemaking involves careful fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, a process that imparts depth and a subtle toastiness to the wine while maintaining the varietal's intrinsic vibrancy and minerality.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Vincent Girardin's Les Vieilles Vignes Meursault offers an alluring nose of ripe orchard fruits like apple and pear, complemented by hints of butter, hazelnut, and a delicate minerality.On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, showcasing flavors of lemon curd, white peach, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging. The wine's creamy texture is beautifully balanced by a bright acidity, adding freshness and length to the profile. The finish is long and smooth, with a lingering taste of stone fruits and a subtle smokiness. This Meursault is a wonderful representation of the appellation's style, offering a luxurious and layered experience that reflects the old vine's contribution to the wine's intensity and elegance.
