1999 | Vincent Girardin | Chevalier-Montrachet

With a luminous golden hue, this Chardonnay offers a complex bouquet of ripe pear, citrus zest, and delicate floral notes, complemented by a hint of toasted oak. On the palate, it reveals a rich, creamy texture and a perfect balance of acidity, showcasing flavors of stone fruits, almonds, and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and sophisticated, making it an ideal pairing for lobster, creamy risottos, or fine cheeses.

Producer Information

Vincent Girardin is a highly regarded Burgundy domaine based in Meursault. It makes a wide range of wines from both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay although the latter predominates. Most holdings span the Côte de Beaune, from grand cru sites such as Le Montrachet and Corton-Charlemagne, through premiers crus in Chassagne and Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin and Santenay, all the way down to vineyards at village-level and regional appellations. The domaine has around 22 hectares (54 acres) of owned vineyards and also acts as a négoce, buying in fruit from growers who can adhere to a certain code of practice, which includes things like using higher trellising for better photosynthesis and avoiding the use of herbicides and insecticides. In the winery, the grapes undergo fermentations using indigenous yeasts, followed by long maturation on the fine lees. Vincent Girarden does not use a high proportion of new oak to mature its wines.
