Tasting Notes
Montrachet. Nothing else tastes like it.
The Icon. Still Beyond Words.
In 1728, Abbé Arnoux wrote: “This wine has qualities of which neither the Latin nor the French language can explain the sweetness… I am not able to express the delicacy and excellence.”
Alas, we try.
Montrachet. The icon of icons. A vineyard spoken of for over 800 years, surviving wars, famine, and the passing whims of man. It endures for one reason. Nothing else tastes like it.
From the Chassagne side, earning the name Le Montrachet.
The nose is already moving. White peach, honeyed citrus, blossom, a touch of flint, all shimmering just beneath the surface.
But it doesn’t give itself away.
On the palate, it dances. Not heavy, not forced. Energy, extract, and something deeper, an intensity that feels held back rather than pushed forward. Everything is there, but not all at once.
It doesn’t arrive. It unfolds. Slowly. Inevitably.
This is not a wine you understand in a moment.
It’s one you return to, again and again, knowing you’ll never quite reach the end of it.

The Plot
Le Montrachet Grand Cru sits at the very heart of Burgundy, straddling the communes of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. This cuvée comes from the Chassagne side, historically known for producing wines of depth and quiet power. The vineyard’s limestone-rich soils and perfect exposition have made it one of the most revered sites in the world for over eight centuries.
Technical Details
100% Chardonnay from Le Montrachet Grand Cru, sourced from the Chassagne side of the vineyard, planted on limestone-rich soils that underpin its precision, depth, and longevity.
In the cellar, the approach follows the domaine’s signature style. 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, keeping oak influence subtle and allowing the vineyard to speak clearly. From pressing to bottling, the wine is protected with nitrogen, preserving its purity, energy, and layered, evolving structure.

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.
