Rouge Volnay "Vieilles Vignes" Vincent Girardin
This Pinot Noir comes from an 85 year old vineyard with premier crus status, in the legendary village of Murso, Burgundy. After being hand-selected, the grapes are crushed, crumpled and placed whole cluster in an inox vat. Once the fermentation process is complete, the wine is aged in French barrels (30% new oak) for 15 months. Vincent Girardin is dedicated to biodynamic farming, which is aligned with the cycles of the lunar calendar. The wine is opulent and complex, with soft structure and volume. It develops notes of cherries and sweet spices.

Венсан Жирардан
Виненото имение произхожда от Сантене, където бащата на Венсан, Жан Жирардан, разделя имота между четирите си деца. Когато Венсан навършва 18 години през 1982 г., той получава 3 хектара. Така започва самостоятелната му винена история и той започва да бутилира собствените си вина. През 1994 г., се премества в Мерсо, тъй като не може да разшири масивите си в Сантене. Днес заедно със съпругата си, Венсан, продължава да произвежда вина с безкомпромисно качество.

Burgundy
In this area, red wines are produced from one variety - Pinot Noir, but the wines actually vary in quality from light and ordinary to rich, complex and truly majestic. Burgundy is famous for its small vineyards and it is generally believed that the smaller the area of the vineyard, the better the wine. The best Burgundy wines come from Côte d'Or, a strip of only 30 miles, divided in the center into 2 separate parts; Côte de Nuit to the north and Côte de Beaune to the south. The fame of Cotê de Nuits is in the red wines - 95% of Pinot Noir grapes are produced here. Of course, here are some of the best, able to age, the most exotic and expensive wines. The Côte de Beaune produces approximately 38% white wine, 60% red wine and 2% sparkling wine. The white wine variety is exclusively Chardonnay, and the quality varies from the best, Montrachets and Corton Charlemagnes, Meursault, Puligny and Chassagne to the more ordinary Macon Blanc. The former are traditionally aged in small oak barrels, while Macon wines are usually lighter in character and have a good value for money. The red wines from Beaune do not have the fame of their "brothers" from Côte de Nuit, with exceptions here are those who come from Pomard, Corton and Volney. In general, they are lighter in style, but depending on the harvest they can show potential that successfully competes with the Côte de Nuits and beyond.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is the dominant red wine grape of Burgundy, a challenge for every single vine grower and wine producer. It can be found in Germany (as Spätburgunder), Italy (Pino Nero), Chile, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. The wines show a specific aroma of red berries and cherry depending on the vinification method employed - from fresh red cherries in lighter wines to stewed black cherries in weightier examples, many of them also showing hints of earthy flavours.
