WINE DESCRIPTION

Vincent Girardin Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Combettes' is a premium white wine produced by Vincent Girardin, a renowned winemaker in Burgundy, France. This wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes sourced from the Premier Cru vineyard of Les Combettes in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation. The vineyard is located on a hillside with perfect exposure to the sun, between the village of Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault, and the stoney soil is rich in limestone and clay, giving the grapes a unique minerality and complexity. The winemaking process involves careful selection and sorting of grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels for 18 months, resulting in a wine with a rich and complex aroma of stone fruits, citrus, and vanilla, and a long, elegant finish.
