Vincent Girardin Volnay 1er Cru Tto Les Santenots Tinto

Description

This Vincent Girardin, hailing from the esteemed Volnay 1er Cru, demonstrates that subtlety can, indeed, be powerfully concentrated. The meticulous – bordering on obsessive – selection process, involving two stages of sorting, suggests the master winemaker isn’t one for shortcuts. Fermentation with natural yeasts, extending nearly three weeks, promises a truly singular aromatic complexity. The gentle crushing and pressing ensure the rich must is extracted with utmost respect for the Pinot Noir grape. A superb accompaniment to a perfectly grilled beef or wild mushrooms – a wine that rewards patience and careful consideration.
