Vincent Girardin Meursault Les Vieilles Vignes 2021

The Vincent Girardin Meursault Les Vieilles Vignes is a blend of plots sourced from around the village of Meursault. The average age of the vines is 50 years and the terroirs include Sous la Velle, Corbin, Dressolles, Clos du Cromin and Vireuils. The Chardonnay grapes are all harvested by hand and sorted first in the vineyard and then again at the winery. They are lightly pressed using a pneumatic press at a low pressure to get a slow extraction. After a gentle racking of the must, the wine is put in French oak casks of 500 litres (10% new) for both of alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Ageing on the fine lees lasts 15 months. One month before bottling, the wine from different barrels is placed in a stainless steel tank for blending and bottling is done according to the lunar calendar. This old vine Meursault offers a delicious combination of roasted almond and hazelnut with floral and mineral notes alongside butter, honey and citrus fruits. On the palate, a rich wine with a hazelnut flavour, beautifully balanced between unctuousness and freshness. The finish is long and structured.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
