Savigny-lès-Beaune White Old Vines by Vincent Girardin is a distinguished Burgundy Chardonnay crafted from century-old vines. It presents a refined expression of the Côte de Beaune terroir.


Savigny-lès-Beaune White Old Vines from Vincent Girardin showcases the elegance of old-vine Chardonnay in the heart of Burgundy. Harvested from 45- to 60-year-old vines, this wine offers a complex bouquet of white flowers, citrus zest, and wet stone minerality.

On the palate, vibrant acidity is perfectly balanced by layers of ripe pear, honeyed apple, and a subtle toasted-oak finish. Ideal for cellaring or enjoying now, it pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry, and creamy cheeses.

Winemaking & Terroir

Vineyard

The fruit is sourced from old-vine parcels in the Savigny-lès-Beaune appellation, where limestone and clay soils impart minerality and depth. Vines average 45–60 years of age, ensuring concentrated flavors and natural balance.

Vinification

Hand-picked grapes undergo gentle pressing and cold settling before fermentation in French oak barrels (25% new). Malolactic fermentation is encouraged to add roundness, and the wine matures on the lees for 12–14 months to develop richness and complexity.
