2021 Vincent Girardin "Vielles Vignes" - Volnay - 2 Bottle (0.75L)

Vincent Girardin – Volnay “Les Vieilles Vignes” 2021 – Lot of 2 Bottles Producer: Vincent Girardin Wine: Volnay “Les Vieilles Vignes” Vintage: 2021 Appellation: Volnay AOC Region: Burgundy – Côte de Beaune, France Grape: 100% Pinot Noir Quantity: 2 bottles Bottle size: 0.75 L each Alcohol: 13% vol. A beautiful lot of two bottles of Volnay Les Vieilles Vignes 2021 from Vincent Girardin, one of the well-established names of the Côte de Beaune. This cuvée is produced from 100% Pinot Noir from old vines in Volnay. Sources specialising in the domaine indicate vines of approximately 60 years of age from several parcels in the appellation, with the wine matured for around 14 months in 228-litre French oak barrels. The 2021 vintage particularly suits the elegant character of Volnay. The wine displays delicate aromas of violet, rose, red berries and aromatic herbs, followed by a refined palate with fresh red fruit, fine silky tannins and an elegant, energetic structure. A Burgundy focused more on finesse, freshness and perfume than sheer power. Vinification & ageing The 2021 was aged for approximately 14 months on fine lees in French oak, with a relatively restrained proportion of new oak. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally, and one detailed account of this vintage reports bottling without fining or filtration. Professional ratings I have not found a sufficiently reliable published Parker/Wine Advocate, Vinous, Burghound, Jasper Morris or Wine Spectator numerical score for this exact 2021 Volnay Les Vieilles Vignes bottling. I would therefore avoid adding an unverified critic score to the Catawiki listing. As a market reference, the 2021 is currently listed by specialist European merchants at approximately €44–65 per bottle, depending on retailer. Bottle condition 2 x 750 ml bottles. Good overall condition. Capsules appear intact and wine levels are excellent. The labels show some light marks/staining, clearly visible in the photographs, particularly on the right-hand bottle. Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact condition of the labels, capsules and bottles. Stored carefully under proper cellar conditions. An attractive two-bottle Burgundy lot from a respected Côte de Beaune producer, offering a classic expression of Volnay: floral, delicate, refined and based on old-vine Pinot Noir.
