2015 Vincent Girardin Santenay Les Vieilles Vignes is a great value red burgundy.Bright red fresh fruits. Spice, leather and warm oak. Good length, what a bargain"
The grapes come from the vineyards from the village of Santenay in the Côte de Beaune, where Vincent Girardin is born. This is a historic wine and flagship one from the Maison Vincent Girardin. The vines are 45 years old.
The soil is clay and mostly limestone. Gentle sloping. Despite the fact that the vineyards are in the south of the Cote de Beaune, the terroirs are in fact very similar for Gevrey Chambertin in the Cote de Nuits.
Hand-picked, partially de-stemmed and softly pressed.
Post fermentation the wine is places into French oak casks (15% new) and after malolactic fermetation aged on fine lees for 14 months. No fining and filtering.
Drinks beautifully with roasted meats, game and various cheeses.
