Vincent Girardin

Vincent Girardin is a wine estate with a vineyard on the Côte de Beaune. After Vincent Girardin sold the entire estate in 2012, winemaker Eric Germain focused on rebuilding the vineyard.

The estate grows Chardonnay and Pinot Noir using biodynamic practices, with vineyard sites in appellations including Meursault, Volnay and Puligny-Montrachet. In the cellar, white wines ferment in French oak barrels with indigenous yeasts and bacteria. They then spend 14 to 20 months on fine lees, depending on the vintage. Red wines ferment with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, while their subsequent ageing on fine lees lasts 16 to 18 months.
