BACKGROUND
Maison Vincent Girardin is a highly respected producer based in Meursault, known for its extensive portfolio of high-quality Burgundies. Founded in 1982, the house has shifted towards biodynamic practices and a purer, less oak-dominant style under the guidance of winemaker Eric Germain. 'Les Tillets' is a high-altitude lieu-dit in Meursault, known for its thin, stony soils. This terroir produces a Chardonnay that is more taut and mineral-driven than typical Meursault, offering crisp aromas of green apple, white flowers, and a precise, elegant finish.
