'Vincent Girardin has made a name for himself by producing sexy, fruit-driven wines from the best appellations of the Côte d’Or, including some world-class grand cru bottlings, but he also makes some winners down south that sell for a fraction the price of his marquee wines. Look for his 2007 Saint-Véran Les Vieilles Vignes ($25; Vineyard Brands), a wine that delivers deep, chewy fruit flavors and lively minerality in a style reminiscent of his pricier wines from up north.'
