Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2010 - Vincent Girardin

Presentation of the domain:

Domaine Vincent Girardin is located in Meursault and has been producing high-quality wines for over 40 years. Founded in 1982, the estate covers over 20 hectares of vineyards spread across several prestigious appellations in the region. Vincent Girardin works closely with local winemakers to produce wines that perfectly reflect the terroir and identity of each appellation.

Presentation of the vintage:

Clos de Vougeot is a prestigious Burgundy appellation that is produced on land enclosed by walls. The gently sloping soil is clay-limestone with schists.

The 2010 Vincent Girardin cuvée comes from vines over 50 years old. This wine is aged on fine lees for 18 months in French oak barrels, 25% of which are new, giving it a rich and complex tannic structure, as well as a subtle aroma of vanilla and spices.

Presentation of the 2010 vintage:

The 2010 vintage in Burgundy was marked by an exceptionally warm and dry climate, which allowed for perfect ripening of the grapes. The harvest was carried out at optimum maturity, which made it possible to produce red wines with a balanced tannic structure and a great concentration of flavors. A great wine for laying down that can be enjoyed today.

Food and wine pairing:

Le Clos de Vougeot 2010 - Vincent Girardin is a wine that pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, such as grilled beef, roast lamb or game. It can also be served with cheese dishes, such as goat cheese or brie.

Service tips:

2010 is not the easiest vintage to taste in Burgundy. The wines offer a stricter style than those of sunny vintages like 2005 or 2009. It is therefore recommended to decant this bottle at least one hour before tasting it to allow the wine to breathe and release all its aromas.
