Meursault 1er Cru Les Cras 2019 - Vincent Girardin
AGE OF VINE
55 years old
GEOLOGY
The grapes come from Meursault and the climate is located in the northern part of the village. This vineyard is located just above the Volnay Santenots. Soil: Mainly limestone and slightly clayey. Pruning is done in Guyot with various green works (disbudding, trellising, pollarding).
VINIFICATION
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
Very colourful and develops a powerful bouquet mixing red and black fruits. Solid structure supported by nice tannins.
FOODS
Eggs en meurette, pâté en croûte, roast poultry, navarin of lamb, cheeses (Cîteaux, brillat-savarin). Serve at 14°c.
