Vincent Girardin – Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru – 2017

The Vincent Girardin maison is quite recent, it was born in the 80s in Santenay when Vincent was only 19 and decided to take back the 2 hectares of vineyards owned by the family. The boy’s talent was immediately evident, maximum care and cleanliness in the vineyards and in the wine so as to expand his market all over the world, this was made possible thanks to the winemaker Eric Germain, who has always been a consultant for the Maison. The range of wines has expanded over time, buying the grapes in the best Premier and Grand Cru plots of the Cote de Beaune, but always maintaining a very high quality philosophy. From the years 2012 things change, and the Maison was sold to the Compagnia des Vins d’Autrefois, where however the work was always entrusted to the winemaker Erik Germain and Vincent’s stamp and style of work was respected. All its wines stand out for their minerality and elegance.
Corton Charlemagne, one of the most renowned and vast Grand Crus in the Cote de Beaune, famous for its history that from the Romans to Charlemagne give its name to this parcel. The maison produces this jewel in very few quantities with 50-year-old plants. It is a wine with unparalleled freshness, great aging potential !!
