Maison Vincent Girardin has that perfect mix of old-world roots and a fresh, modern edge. Founded in 1980, the winery is all about showcasing the true essence of Burgundy through sustainable practices and a minimalist approach. Think no herbicides, natural compost, and hands-off winemaking to let the terroir speak for itself. This Pommard “Vieilles Vignes” hails from 45-year-old vines planted on clay-limestone soils, tucked near the village of Volnay. Hand-harvested and meticulously sorted, the grapes undergo a gentle, natural fermentation before aging 15 months in French oak barrels (just the right touch of new wood). The result? A dark ruby beauty, with rich black fruit, a hint of spice, and smoky, earthy undertones. Silky yet bold, this is your go-to for pairing with game, marinated meats, and anything that demands a little extra depth and flair. Pure Burgundy, refined but with just enough edge.
