With their marked tannic structures, the 2013s will need five or six years of cellaring, said enologist Eric Germain, "but they may not have the density to last for 20 years." The Girardin 2013s were bottled unfined and unfiltered between December 2014 and March 2015, after settling in tanks for at least two months.

Vincent Girardin, who sold off most of his vineyards in 2011 and 2013 to the Compagnie des Vins d'Autrefois, now owns just nine hectares of vines, mostly in Meursault. According to enologist Eric Germain, Girardin has stopped buying grand cru fruit from the Côte de Nuits because prices have become too expensive. The red grapes here were harvested entirely in October, "almost ripe" according to Germain, but the harvest was finished before the substantial rainfall on October 9. Germain vinified with 10% whole clusters across the board in 2013 (vs. 50% in 2012), and the vinifications lasted four weeks, at a maximum temperature of 29 degrees C. All of the wines were aged in one-third new, one-third once-used and one-third twice-used barrels. Germain described 2013 as "totally crazy for reds. We were able to preserve terroir differences better than in previous years, but at the cost of eliminating 30% of our grapes."
