Vincent Girardin, Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, 2020
🏰 The 2020 Vincent Girardin Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes hails from an exceptional Burgundy vintage, praised for its remarkable freshness, purity, and elegant concentration. The 2020 vintage for Burgundy reds is largely considered excellent, known for being remarkably fresh, pure, elegant, and focused, despite initial concerns about overripe wines due to hot and sunny conditions. It was a precocious year with an early budburst and flowering, ultimately yielding wines with high acidity and high concentration. The reds display freshness and precision, with deeper forest fruit characters and intense, mineral-accented profiles, driven by vibrant acidity and pure dark berry fruit, finishing cleansing and bright. Expect a wine with a red rather than black fruit spectrum, bright and crunchy, with vibrant acidity and moderate alcohol levels.
🍴 This elegant red Burgundy pairs beautifully with classic French dishes like roasted duck or coq au vin. For an Asian twist, consider Cantonese-style roasted goose or braised mushrooms with oyster sauce. Western options include pan-seared venison with berry reduction or a rich mushroom risotto.
🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated dinner, a celebration of a special occasion, or as a thoughtful gift for any Burgundy enthusiast.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Vincent Girardin was founded by Vincent Girardin, who hails from the village of Santenay and comes from a family of winemakers. Passionate about wine, Vincent inherited the family's two-hectare vineyard and established the winery in 1994, sourcing grapes only from growers who shared his philosophy. The primary grape varieties are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In 2001, the winery moved from Santenay to Meursault. In 2012, Vincent decided to sell the winery to La Compagnie des Vins d’Autrefois, and it is now managed by Eric Germain and Marco Caschera.
