Poised on Burgundy’s limestone crest.
Pierre-Vincent Girardin’s 2022 Puligny-Montrachet comes from two prized lieux-dits, “Les Charmes” and “Les Corvées des Vignes,” on the northern edge of the village. As a 13th-generation Burgundian who struck out on his own at 21, Girardin channels centuries of expertise into each bottle, making his young label a go-to for Chardonnays that marry pedigree with personality.
These 30+ year-old vines thrive in clay-limestone soils under organic and biodynamic cultivation. Whole-cluster pressing feeds into 11 months of barrel ageing (40% new oak) before a further six months in stainless steel, preserving the wine’s tension and energy. The result is a wine of precision—bright grapefruit and gunflint notes cutting through a pure mineral core.
Drinkable now for its vivid attack and sleek palate, this Puligny-Montrachet will also reward careful cellaring over the next 8–15 years. Serve at 12 ºC alongside poultry in sauce, veal with mushrooms, foie gras or simply grilled lobster and sea-fish.

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.
