    The wine

    Ce santenay premier cru est issu du climat Les Gravières, provenant de la maison Vincent Girardin. Situé au sud de la Côte de Beaune, « Les Gravières » est le meilleur premier cru de Santenay. Le terroir en forte pente est argilo calcaire avec des vignes âgées de 45 ans.
    Après des vendanges manuelles et un tri rigoureux, les raisins sont partiellement égrappés et mis en cuve thermorégulée. Les levures naturelles agissent pendant la fermentation alcoolique qui dure 3 semaines. Des remontages doux sont effectués et le pressurage est doux également. L’élevage dure en fût de chêne (20% neuf) sur lies fines pendant 14 mois. Le vin n’est pas filtré ni collé.
    A la dégustation, c’est un santenay construit, équilibré. Le bouquet est floral et plein de fruits rouges et noirs. La finale est longue avec des tannins gras. A servir à 16°C, accompagné d’une viande rouge, d’un gibier ou de fromages.

    Information about domain 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 back the two hectares of vines from his parents (the family have been wine growers since the 17th century) to produce his own wine. He produces wines from environmentally-friendly vineyards (no herbicides or insecticides, natural compost and from local farms, manual harvesting), and in a very natural way. The vineyard now covers 20 hectares, spread over 42 plots, and produces wines from prestigious appellations in the Côte de Beaune (Meursault, Puligny Montrachet, Chassagne Montrachet, Saint Aubin, Santenay, Savigny Les Beaune, Aloxe Corton, Volnay and Pommard). Vincent Girardin had taken his Burgundy trading house to the top since it was founded in 1992. Bought by the Compagnie des Vins d'Autrefois in 2012, the technical team however remained the same, led by Eric Germain from Meursault. 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.
