2008 Domaine Vincent Girardin Corton Bressandes Grand Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / CORTON-CHARLEMAGNE
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 90
Medium ruby-red. Riper aromas of black cherry, violet, licorice and spicy oak. The palate offers cleaner fruit flavors than the Grands Epenots, with strong but more successfully integrated acidity giving cut to the middle palate. More sweetness and length here. Girardin's team picks these grapes as well as the Charmes-Chambertin.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2010
Styled by Vincent Girardin, these white wines display their quality in finesse, aromatic purity, and harmony between richness and vibrancy. Girardins red wines are profound and intense, balancing tannin and ripe fruit. Vincent Girardin started in 1982 with just two hectares of vineyards. After assuming responsibility for his father's vineyards and exhibiting uncanny business acumen, he turned Girardin into a flourishing Domaine (owned vineyards) and micro-negociant (purchased fruit) enterprise. The Domaine was originally based in Santenay, but in 2002 Girardin moved the operation to Meursault. This new cuverie is testimony to his dedication to skillfully melding traditional vineyard management with modern, efficient winemaking.
