Vincent Girardin's Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is drawn from three parcels on the hill of Corton, at the northern end of the Côte de Beaune where it meets the Côte de Nuits. Each faces a different direction: south in Aloxe-Corton, east in Ladoix-Serrigny and west in Pernand-Vergelesses, giving the blend a broad picture of this great Grand Cru. The Chardonnay vines average around 50 years of age.
The vines grow on Jurassic soils roughly 145 million years old, clay-rich marls in shades of yellow, ochre and brown. Fruit is hand-harvested with sorting in the vineyard, lightly settled and fermented in 228 litre French oak barrels, 15 to 20% new, using indigenous yeasts and bacteria. It then spends around 18 months on fine lees without stirring before a light filtration and bottling according to the lunar calendar.
This is a very complex white with a pronounced mineral character that continues to evolve and gain detail with time in bottle. Serve it with lobster, shellfish, fine fish dishes, white meats or cheese.
Since Vincent Girardin founded the house in 1980 with two hectares of family vines, it has grown to work with vineyards across eleven villages of the Côte de Beaune. Winemaker Eric Germain, who joined in the early 2000s, has led the house towards expressing Burgundy's great terroirs, and continues to do so under owner Jean-Pierre Nié.
