A premier Burgundy white wine from the acclaimed house of Vincent Girardin, offering bright citrus and mineral notes alongside elegant oak integration.

Chassagne-Montrachet Vincent Girardin is a world-class Chardonnay that beautifully reflects the terroir of Burgundy’s most celebrated appellation. Pleasing aromas of white flowers, ripe pear, and zesty lemon are underscored by wet stone minerality and a hint of toasted oak.

On the palate, the wine delivers a perfect balance of bright acidity and creamy texture. Its long, harmonious finish makes it an ideal companion to seafood, poultry, and soft cheeses, elevating any dining experience.

Wine Profile

Produced by Maison Vincent Girardin, this Chassagne-Montrachet is crafted from hand-harvested, sustainably farmed Chardonnay grapes. After a gentle pressing, the must is fermented in French oak barrels—30% new—then aged on fine lees for 12–14 months to build complexity and depth.
