🇬🇧 Santenay Blanc Les Vieilles Vignes 2023 – Vincent Girardin
✨ Refined white Burgundy with freshness and minerality – old-vine Chardonnay from the southern edge of the Côte de Beaune!
In often-overlooked Santenay, Vincent Girardin proves that outstanding white Burgundy can thrive here too. The Les Vieilles Vignes cuvée comes from Chardonnay vines over 40 years old, rooted in clay-limestone soils on gently sloping hillsides. The result? A lively, precise wine that perfectly expresses its terroir – light yet structured, with a subtle oak nuance.
🍷 Tasting Note – Fresh & Chalky
This wine glows pale yellow with green reflections in the glass. The nose is clean and delicate, revealing lime zest, ripe pear, and white blossom, supported by a hint of salinity and chalky minerality. On the palate, it starts crisp and vibrant, then opens up with flavors of citrus, green apple, aniseed, and a touch of toast. The texture is smooth, balanced by refreshing acidity and a dry, mineral-driven finish. Elegant, pure, and surprisingly food-friendly.
📍 Terroir & Vinification
