Tasting notes

From a hectare of Domaine holdings that has been bio-dynamically farmed for the last three years, the 2017 Meursault Les Clous reveals an attractive bouquet of Anjou pear, lemon oil, white flowers and drawn butter. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, tangy, and tensile, with a pure, mineral-driven profile that's defined by its hillside origins.

About this wine

Vincent Girardin is a renowned producer of Meursault wines, and their Les Clous is a standout example of the region's style. Meursault is located in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy, France, and is known for producing rich, full-bodied white wines made from Chardonnay grapes.

Vincent Girardin has a long history in the wine industry, with the family's winemaking roots dating back to the 17th century. The current generation of the family has been producing wine since 1982, and Vincent Girardin himself took over the family business in 1982. Since then, the winery has become known for its high-quality, terroir-driven wines that showcase the unique characteristics of the Burgundy region.

The Les Clous vineyard is located in the heart of Meursault, and the wine produced from these grapes is a classic example of the region's style. The wine is aged in oak barrels, which gives it a rich, creamy texture and notes of vanilla and toast. The Chardonnay grapes used to make the wine are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit is used.

The resulting wine is a beautiful golden color, with aromas of ripe fruit, honey, and hazelnuts. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with flavors of citrus, pear, and a hint of minerality. The oak aging gives the wine a long, smooth finish that lingers on the palate.

Overall, Vincent Girardin's Meursault Les Clous is a stunning example of the region's style, and a must-try for any wine lover. The winery's commitment to quality and terroir-driven winemaking shines through in every bottle, making it a top choice for those looking for a high-quality Burgundy wine.
