Pierre Girardin - Meursault "Les Narvaux" 2022

The Meursault Narvaux has a concentration of white fruit with a lemon and lime tingle behind.

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 ‘Les Narvaux Dessus’, a plot in the village of Meursault just above the ‘Genevrières’, it is one of the highest plots in Meursault. Sitting on white marl soil, limestone, poor in clay, it is a steep and rocky plot. Vinified as whole cluster, 11 months in big oak barrels of 456l (85% new), 5 months in steel tank. This Narvaux has a crystalline and stony attack, good persistence, freshness and minerality on the end with grapefruit hints. Drink now or age for 8 to 12 years.

100% Chardonnay.
