1999 Vincent Girardin Santenots Volnay Burgundy - 750ml

Vincent Girardin is a famous Burgundy domaine based in Meursault. It makes a wide range of wines from both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from around the Côte de Beaune, from grand cru sites such as Le Montrachet and Echezeaux, all the way down to vineyards falling under the village-level and regional appellations.

The Domaine began in 1980 when 19-year old Vincent Girardin, the son of a long-standing family of Santenay winemakers, made his first wines from 2 hectares (5 acres) of vineyards inherited from his parents. As demand began to take off, he developed supply relationships with growers who shared his approach – a practice which was new to Burgundy. Vincent Girardin sold the business in 2012 but Eric Germain, winemaker since the early 2000s, remained to ensure continuity.
