About this Wine
This is Chardonnay from the Jura, but shaped by Burgundian thinking. Sourced from old vines in Rotalier and made in Meursault, it combines Jura’s natural tension and salinity with a level of precision and polish rarely seen in the region. Bright, mineral, and quietly powerful.

Tasting Notes
From Jura, made in Meursault. Familiar grape, completely different story.
Jura Meets Meursault. Old Vines. Pure Tension.
A familiar grape, but not as you know it. This is Jura Chardonnay, from the village of Rotalier, sitting on an east-facing slope at 300 metres. Limestone, clay, and blue marl underfoot. Vines 62 years old. The kind that don’t rush, but speak with clarity.
The first impression is all lift. Lime, lemon peel, fresh pear. Bright and shimmering. Then it settles, drawing inward.
On the palate, it tightens into something more chiselled. Mineral, precise, quietly powerful. There’s a fine salt line running through it, giving shape and tension, anchoring everything in place. The acidity is alive, carrying the wine forward without ever forcing it.
It feels like Jura, but with the hand of Meursault guiding it. Controlled. Focused. Exact.

The Plot
Le Noyer sits within Clos du Château in Rotalier, in the southern Jura. East-facing at around 300 metres, the site is rooted in limestone, clay, and blue marl, soils that naturally drive tension and salinity. With vines averaging 62 years of age, the vineyard delivers fruit with depth, structure, and a clear sense of place, often drawing comparisons to the mineral profile of Meursault.
Technical Details
100% Chardonnay from organically farmed, 62-year-old vines in Rotalier in the Jura, planted on limestone, clay, and blue marl soils. Although grown in Jura, the wine is made in Meursault, placing it outside appellation rules and bottled as Vin de France.
In the cellar, the approach remains unchanged. Whole bunches are pressed long and firmly to extract maximum lees, with controlled oxidation only at this early stage. Fermentation takes place in custom 456-litre barrels for both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, limiting oak influence and focusing on vineyard expression. From pressing to bottling, the wine is protected with nitrogen, preserving its tension, energy, and lift.

Discover Their Story
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.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now, but a little patience could make it even more rewarding. Open one soon, then tuck another away if you want to watch it develop.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
