Meursault Vilages Vieilles Vignes 2024 Vincent Girardin

The 2024 Meursault Village Vieilles Vignes by Vincent Girardin is made from Chardonnay grapes grown on plots with old vines in the Meursault area; The grapes are harvested by hand, and fermentation takes place using wild yeast. “Village” white wines from this region are aged not in 228-liter barriques, but in 500-liter barrels, which helps to temper the influence of oak and highlight the nutty notes and minerality characteristic of Meursault. The head winemaker is Eric Germain; the winery’s style involves the restrained use of new oak barrels and places special emphasis on aging on the lees to give the wine a distinctive texture. Best enjoyed between 2025 and 2035.
