Jean-Pierre, very sensibly, took the decision not only to retain Eric Germain (head winemaker) and Marco Caschera (sales and exports) but to make them substantial shareholders in the business. As far as we are concerned, nothing has changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey continue to work with the highest quality raw materials and Eric Germain continues to make the wines, as he has done for nearly twenty years. Indeed, now that Eric is entirely free from other constraints, we have noticed the wines’ gain in precision over recent vintages! There is no bâtonnage and extended maturation in barrel – a very high proportion of which are demi-muids and larger – gives the white wines greater tension, elegance, energy and purity. The reds are supple, fresh, pure and elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVincent Giradin Volnay Village 'Vielles Vignes' - Hay Wines\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"HAY WINES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56931800646007,"sku":"10561","price":58.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6009\/9006\/files\/VincentGirardinVolnay.jpg?v=1775043781","url":"https:\/\/haywines.co.uk\/products\/vincent-giradin-volnay-village-vielles-vignes-2021","provider":"HAY WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
