Tasting

Notes

This is what happens when great fruit meets total freedom. Mostly Meursault in origin, with touches of Chassagne and Pommard, it refuses to sit within the rules and lands as Vin de France. But in the glass, there’s no confusion. It’s all energy, generosity, and precision. A wine that smells electric and drinks even better. Part Chardonnay. Part Aligoté. All incredible.

Estimated Arrival: May 2026

Discover their Story

Pierre Girardin

The story begins in 2017. At just eighteen years old, Pierre-Vincent Girardin founded his own domaine, working with a handful of exceptional vineyard parcels retained from his family’s historic holdings.

Raised in Meursault and shaped by generations of Burgundian winemaking, he works organically in the vineyards and has rapidly forged a style defined by purity, precision and energy. Already being compared to Coche-Dury & Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey, from the first taste, it’s clear why.

Wine Details

Wine Details

Fireworks in a Glass. Meursault at Heart. Impossible to Put Down.

Before the first sip even lands, it’s already over. The nose alone stops you in your tracks. Not subtle, not restrained. Full, sky-filling fireworks. Citrus oil, lemon confit, warm buttered pastry, ripe stone fruit, all bursting out in waves. Bright, vivid, impossible to ignore.

Then the palate takes it further. It surges. There’s richness, but no weight. Layers, but no heaviness. That unmistakable Meursault generosity is there, but sharpened, lifted, alive. Everything feels in motion, perfectly balanced yet constantly evolving. You stop analysing. You just keep going back for another sip.

Tasted blind, you’d call Meursault every time.

There’s only one word for it. Addictive.

The Plot

Drawn largely from Meursault, with smaller components from Chassagne-Montrachet and Pommard, this is a wine that blends serious Côte de Beaune pedigree with a refusal to be boxed in. With 95% Chardonnay and a touch of Aligoté, it sits outside the Bourgogne classification as Vin de France, but the quality in the glass speaks far louder than any label.

Technical

A blend of 95% Chardonnay with a small addition of Aligoté, sourced from organically farmed parcels largely in Meursault, with touches of Chassagne-Montrachet and Pommard. Despite its origins, it is bottled as Vin de France, allowing complete freedom in blending.

In the cellar, precision takes over. Whole bunches are pressed long and firmly to extract maximum lees, with this early stage the only point where controlled oxidation is allowed. The wines then move into custom 456-litre barrels for both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, where the larger format keeps oak influence subtle and the focus firmly on the vineyard. From pressing to bottling, the wines are protected with nitrogen, preserving tension, energy, and that unmistakable lift.
