2015 Vincent Girardin Corton-Perrières Grand Cru

Vincent Girardin's production was focused on making high quality wines, primarily from the Burgundy region of France. The estate owned and managed vineyards in several prestigious appellations within the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay and others. These wines often showed the characteristics of the individual terroirs, highlighting the nuances of the specific vineyards.

In addition to white wines, the estate also produced red wines. The production process at Vincent Girardin emphasized traditional winemaking techniques, including careful vineyard management, hand-harvesting of grapes, and a gentle approach to fermentation and maturation. The use of oak barrels for aging, a common practice in Burgundy, was likely part of the winemaking process to give the wines complexity and subtle oak notes.

The grapes come from the Grand Cru vineyard "Les Perrières," located in the heart of Aloxe-Corton in the north of the Côte de Beaune. Soil: clay and limestone. The slope is steep and has an eastern orientation. The vines are pruned according to the Guyot system and during the growing season various work is carried out, such as budding, tying up and topping. The vineyard is over 45 years old. The grapes are harvested by hand and then sorted on the vine and on a sorting table (depending on the After light crushing and destemming, the grapes are placed in stainless steel tanks. Depending on the quality of the harvest, a small portion of the grapes may be processed whole. After a few days of cold maceration, the active fermentation phase begins under temperature control. During this period, the wine is pumped over and/or racked. After pneumatic pressing, the wine is transferred to oak barrels (approximately 30% new wood), where it matures for 15 months. During this period, malolactic fermentation takes place. One month before bottling, the wines from the different barrels are combined in tanks. Bottling takes place according to the lunar calendar.
