Vincent Girardin Santenay Vieilles Vignes Rouge 2020 375mls Victoria From Champagne's oldest houseThe Wine The grapes come from the vineyards from the village of Santenay in the Cte de Beaune, where Vincent Girardin is born. This is a historic wine and flagship one from the Maison Vincent Girardin. The vines are 45+ years old. The soil is clay and mostly limestone. Gentle sloping. Despite the fact that the vineyards are in the south of the Cote de Beaune, the terroirs are in fact very similar for Gevrey Chambertin in the Cote de Nuits. Hand
