2023 Vincent Girardin - Meursault Vieilles Vignes (750ml)

Vincent Girardin's négociant house sources this Vieilles Vignes bottling from old-vine Meursault fruit, hand-harvested and sorted before slow pneumatic pressing. The must settles briefly before going into 500-liter French oak barrels (10% new), where natural yeasts and bacteria carry both fermentations without intervention. The wine ages 15 months on its fine lees, unstirred, before final blending, racking, and a light filtration ahead of bottling — a classic, patient approach built to show Meursault's signature nutty richness and mineral drive at a fair price for the appellation.
