Vincent Girardin Santenay Vieilles Vignes Rouge 2020 375mls Victoria 40% Merlot and 6% Malbec

40% Merlot and 6% Malbec (most are much more Merlot dominated due low amounts of gravel) - much along the lines of Figeac

I just luv it— subtle Tuscan countryside aromatics waft from the glass

It should be served during a meal after a long aeration and a minimum temperature of 15 degrees

exceptional finesse and optimal lightness

The Wine Front

Vincent Girardin Santenay Vieilles Vignes Rouge 2020 375mls Victoria 40% Merlot and 6% MalbecThe Wine The grapes come from the vineyards from the village of Santenay in the Cte de Beaune, where Vincent Girardin is born. This is a historic wine and flagship one from the Maison Vincent Girardin. The vines are 45+ years old. The soil is clay and mostly limestone. Gentle sloping. Despite the fact that the vineyards are in the south of the Cote de Beaune, the terroirs are in fact very similar for Gevrey Chambertin in the Cote de Nuits. Hand
