The vines are around 40 years old and grow in classic brown limestone and clay-limestone marl soils, giving the wine its combination of concentration, freshness and mineral tension. Harvesting is carried out by hand, followed by careful sorting and gentle pneumatic pressing. Fermentation takes place in 228-litre French oak barrels using indigenous yeasts, with only a modest proportion of new oak. The result is a village Puligny that places purity and terroir expression ahead of overt oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is matured for approximately 14 months on fine lees without bâtonnage, helping preserve freshness while building texture and complexity. Its aromatic profile moves through green apple, ripe grape and citrus alongside hawthorn, fern and lemongrass, with more savoury nuances of almond, hazelnut and restrained oak. The palate is concentrated and full but remains finely controlled by Puligny-Montrachet’s characteristic mineral line and refreshing acidity. With time, honeyed, buttery and flinty notes can emerge, adding further complexity to the old-vine fruit. It is particularly well suited to lobster, shellfish, noble fish, creamy poultry and similarly refined dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Refined, floral and mineral\u003cbr\u003eGreen apple, ripe grape and citrus mingle with hawthorn, fern and lemongrass, followed by almond, hazelnut and subtle mineral tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Concentrated, precise and elegant\u003cbr\u003eFull-bodied Chardonnay with ripe fruit, finely integrated oak, refreshing acidity and a firm limestone-driven mineral core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long, fresh and mineral\u003cbr\u003ePersistent citrus, hazelnut and stony mineral nuances carry through a focused, refreshing finish with understated saline tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Vincent Girardin\u003cbr\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003eCountry - France\u003cbr\u003eRegion - Burgundy\u003cbr\u003eAppellation - Puligny-Montrachet\u003cbr\u003eVintage - 2023\u003cbr\u003eABV - 13%\u003cbr\u003eSize - 750ml\u003cbr\u003eClassification - Village\u003cbr\u003eCertification - Biodynamic, Organic\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Vincent Girardin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44508515172439,"sku":"VIN-GIR-PUL-MON-VV-23","price":249.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/8a86ecb3-d8e1-485e-b311-71803d93dafc.webp?v=1792493082","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/domaine-vincent-girardin-puligny-montrachet-vieilles-vignes-2023","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
