Pristine high-altitude limestone expression.
Les Narvaux 2022 is a single-plot Meursault from Pierre-Vincent Girardin, the 13th-generation vigneron who launched his own label at 21. Sourced from “Les Narvaux Dessus,” one of Meursault’s highest, steepest sites on white marl and limestone soils, it showcases the vineyard’s rocky terroir with crystalline clarity.
Practising organic and biodynamic viticulture, Girardin ferments whole clusters using indigenous yeasts, then raises the wine for 11 months in 456 L barrels (85 percent new) followed by five months in stainless steel. The result is a wine that balances concentrated white fruit with steely mineral drive and a bright grapefruit tang.
Drink now for its vibrant tension or cellar for eight to twelve years to see deeper complexity emerge. Made from 100 percent Chardonnay (12.5 percent ABV), it’s ideal with veal or poultry in white-wine sauce, grilled lobster or king prawns in beurre blanc, and even blue cheese or foie gras.

Pierre-Vincent Girardin cut his teeth under Burgundy’s grand domaines, then struck out on his own in 2012 with a singular goal: to distil the purest essence of Meursault’s storied terroir. Working single-parcel parcels across premier lieu-dits, he tends each vine personally—pruning, ploughing and hand-harvesting to ensure fruit arrives at the winery in immaculate condition. His background in oenology underpins a thoughtful, measured approach: fermentation is guided but never forced, and élevage prioritises transparency over showmanship.
At the winery, Girardin champions whole-cluster vinification, letting indigenous yeasts and gentle extraction shape each cuvée. He favours large-format, 456-litre barrels (half new) to temper oak’s footprint, then finishes in stainless steel to lock in freshness and purity. Unfined and unfiltered, his wines arrive in bottle as faithful ambassadors of their origin—alive with mineral energy and poised acidity.
Today, Pierre-Vincent’s range stands as a testament to small-scale craft. With annual production measured in thousands—not tens of thousands—of bottles, each release feels personal: a snapshot of vintage nuances and a window into Girardin’s relentless quest for balance. His wines are never ostentatious; they simply do their job with quiet confidence.
At the heart of Girardin’s endeavour lies a reverence for soil. His parcels—Casse-Têtes, Sous la Velle and La Barre Dessus—are chosen for their limestone-marl matrices, each site imparting its own textural signature. By isolating micro-terroirs, he lets geology speak: gunflint minerality, bright citrus tension and the chalky grip that defines top-flight Meursault.
Sustainability is more than a buzzword here. Girardin farms organically, accepts vintage variability and avoids chemical shortcuts. Low yields are a feature, not a flaw; they concentrate flavour and ensure vines remain vigorous for generations to come. Every vineyard intervention—from cover crops to canopy management—is calibrated to nurture biodiversity and soil health.
In cellar, restraint rules. Fermentation vessels are selected for nuance, élevage schedules are dictated by tasting rather than tradition, and assemblages are kept minimal to preserve site identity. Through these choices, the Girardin range emerges as a cohesive narrative: a clear, unvarnished voice that invites drinkers to explore Meursault one parcel at a time.
