Vincent Girardin, Bourgogne Cuvée Saint Vincent Chardonnay 2022
DESCRIPTION
The Saint Vincent highlights the finesse and complexity of a wine aged on lees. For ten months, this white wine is aged on lees - those dead yeasts at the bottom of the barrel that enrich its bouquet and contribute to the fullness of its body. Before the wine is bottled, it is placed in stainless steel tanks for blending. The wine is then bottled following the rules of the lunar calendar. The Chardonnay expresses itself here through notes of juicy fruit, butter and florals. The Saint Vincent is both unctuous and fresh. This wine is a great match for seafood, shellfish, or a charcuterie and cheese board. In other words, this wine is perfect for an apéritif.
REGION
Burgundy
France
Burgundy, located in eastern France, is one of the world's most emblematic wine-growing regions, renowned for its elegant, fine and complex wines. Its semi-continental climate, marked by contrasting seasons, and its mineral-rich clay-limestone soils provide an exceptional terroir for its two king grape varieties: Pinot Noir for reds, and Chardonnay for whites. Alongside them, more discreet varieties such as Gamay and Aligoté complete the vineyard's diversity.
The vineyard stretches from the Chablisien in the north, known for its taut, mineral whites, to the Mâconnais in the south, offering accessible, gourmet cuvées. In between, the Côte de Nuits is the realm of great reds, while the Côte de Beaune excels in both reds and whites. The Côtes Chalonnaises complete the picture with wines offering excellent value for money.
