<h1>Vincent Girardin</h1><br><h2>Wine Making</h2><h2>Red Wine</h2> <p>- Wine-harvest by hand, - The grapes are sorted twice (when picking the grapes and on the sorting table), - The grapes are partially des-temmed and are put in stainless steel thermo-regulated tanks, - The primary fermentation can begin at around 3 weeks with natural yeasts which are-present on the grape berries, - Gentle pumping-over of the must and crush in order to avoid extracting harsh tannins and to attain the purest and most representative wines possible, - Gentle pressing, - The wine is put into the French oak casks for a further settling of the juice (between 10 and 30% of new oak depending upon the appellation). The malolactic fermentation can then begin with natural anaerobic bacteria, - Ageing for between 16 and 18 months on fine lees, - We follow the lunar calendar for the bottling without fining or filtering. </p> <h2>White Wine</h2> <p>- Harvested by hand, - The grapes are sorted twice (when picking the grapes and on the sorting table), - Light pressing to get a slow extraction, - After a gentle racking of the must, the wine is put in French oak casks (between 10 and 35% of new oak depending upon the appellation), - The primary and malolactic fermentations can then begin with wild yeasts and natural anaerobic bacteria, - The ageing is long on fine lees, between 14 and 20 months (depending on the “cuvees”), - We follow the lunar calendar for bottling. </p> <a href='http://www.vincentgirardin.com/fr/' title=' Version Française'>Version Française</a> <a href='http://www.vincentgirardin.com/en/index.php' title=''></a><br> <a href='http://www.vincentgirardin.com/en/breading.php' title='Breading'>Breading</a><br> <a href='http://www.vincentgirardin.com/en/contact.php' title='Contact'>Contact</a><br> <a href='http://www.vincentgirardin.com/en/distributor.php' title='Distributor'>Distributor</a><br> <a href='http://www.vincentgirardin.com/en/news.php' title='News'>News</a><br> <a href='http://www.vincentgirardin.com/en/our-domain.php' title='Our Domain'>Our Domain</a><br> <a href='http://www.vincentgirardin.com/en/our-wines.php' title='Our Wines'>Our Wines</a><br> <a href='http://www.vincentgirardin.com/en/philosophy.php' title='Philosophy'>Philosophy</a><br> <a href='http://www.vincentgirardin.com/en/press-review.php' title='Press Review'>Press Review</a><br> <a href='http://www.vincentgirardin.com/en/rewards.php' title='Rewards'>Rewards</a><br> <a href='http://www.vincentgirardin.com/en/wine-grower.php' title='Wine Grower'>Wine Grower</a><br> <a href='http://www.vincentgirardin.com/en/wine-making.php' title='Wine Making'>Wine Making</a><br>
