Pierre Girardin - Meursault 1er Cru "Les Perrières" 2022

This Meursault Perrieres has dense fruit with great acidity.

Pierre-Vincent Girardin is a 13th generation Burgundian winemaker who grew up among the vines in his father’s Domaine. Starting his own label with the family holdings of Les Folatières in Puligny-Montrachet at the age of 21, he has become a formidable force among young winemakers in Burgundy. Expanding beyond the 4.5 hectares, his family contacts brought him access to top growers in Puligny Folatières, Volnay Clos des Chênes, Pommard Epenots, Corton-Charlemagne. 

From the South of Meursault, in“ Les Perrières Dessous”, the vines sit next to the Genevrières plot on white marl soil, on a steep slope with limestone. Vinified as 100% whole cluster with 12 months in 456l oak barrels (100% new) then 7 months in steel tank. Elegant citrus perfume on the first nose, then reduction appears. Crystal water and wet stone on the mouth, pure and powerful wine with a great energy. Ageing potential of 10 to 18 years.

100% Chardonnay.
