Chassagne Montrachet Red 2019 Vieilles Vignes - Vincent Girardin
AGE OF VINE
60 years old
TERROIR
The vines are located in the regional appellation area of the commune of Chassagne-Montrachet. Soil: lies flat on a deep clay-limestone soil. The soil is fine and light. Pruning is done in Guyot with various green works (disbudding, trellising, topping).
WINE MAKING
Hand-picked, sorted on the vines and then sorted on a sorting table (in some years, an optical sorting machine is used) at the winery.
BREEDING
The grapes are lightly crushed and de-stemmed and placed in stainless steel tanks. A small amount of whole grapes may be added depending on the condition of the raw material. After a cold maceration of a few days, the active phase of fermentation takes place with temperature control. During this phase, pumping over and/or punching of the cap is carried out. After pneumatic pressing, the wines are put into barrels (about 30% new wood) where the ageing takes place. This lasted 15 months, during which time malolactic fermentation took place. One month before bottling, the wine from the different barrels is blended in vats. No fining and a light lenticular filtration preceded bottling. Some modifications on the overall technique may be made depending on the vintage. Bottling is done according to the lunar calendar.
TASTING
A clear, intense and deep colour, a fresh red fruit fragrance, the wine is delicate and melted. The attack in the mouth is silky. The tannins are present but fine in a powerful body. The finish is firm.
PAIRINGS
Grilled meat - fine charcuterie - meat terrine - cheese. Serve at 14°c.
