WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Vincent Girardin is a 50-acre estate comprising 42 parcels in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. Vincent Girardin, an 11th-generation winemaker born in Santenay, founded the domaine in 1982 with just 5 acres, gradually expanding it over the years. Now managed with his wife, Veronique, the domaine produces both red and white Burgundies. Renowned critic Robert M. Parker Jr. praises Girardin as an "extremely talented winemaker," noting that his top grand and premier crus rival those of Burgundy's best domaines. Girardin is also celebrated for crafting delicious, approachable wines from lesser-known appellations, including his home village of Santenay.
