Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Aigrots Vincent Girardin (Domaine) 2022

About the Producer Vincent Girardin

Vincent Girardin comes from a family that has cultivated vines since the 17th century. But the real history of Domaine Vincent Girardin is recent, since it began in 1980 when Vincent Girardin took over two hectares of vines from his parents (the family have been wine growers since the 17th century) to produce his own wine. In a few years, Vincent Girardin had become a safe bet in Burgundy, developing a wine trading in 1992. Bought by the Compagnie des Vins d'Autrefois in 2012, the technical team however remained the same, led by Eric Germain.
Today, the estate produces wines from biodynamic vineyards or those that respect the environment (no herbicides or insecticides, natural compost and from local farms, manual harvesting), and in a very natural way. The wines and the climats (Bâtard-Montrachet, Chambertin...) are as prestigious as the next, covering Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais. The selection of winemakers remains demanding, as is the high quality of the wines. The red wines are supple, fruity and elegant, whilst the whites are fine, pure, bold and lively.
