2024 Vincent Girardin - Bourgogne Blanc Cuvee St. Vincent (750ml) [PRE ARRIVAL]

Vincent Girardin started in 1980 with a few family acres in Santenay, where the Girardins had grown grapes since the 17th century. He built it into one of the Côte de Beaune’s most respected white Burgundy houses, now based in Meursault. Cuvée Saint-Vincent is the house Bourgogne Blanc, made with the same care as their village and premier cru wines. The Chardonnay is hand-harvested from limestone soils and gently pressed. It ferments on native yeasts in 500-liter French oak barrels, with no new wood, then rests ten months on its fine lees. Expect pale gold color and a pure, elegant nose of citrus, white flowers and crushed stone. The palate is precise and zesty, with just a whisper of oak. A great house white for oysters, charcuterie, roast chicken or a cheese board.
