Pierre-Vincent Girardin Meursault Éclat de Calcaire
Pierre-Vincent Girardin Meursault Éclat de Calcaire 2022 — Chardonnay chiselled from limestone. Pierre-Vincent Girardin’s Éclat de Calcaire is a Meursault from the 2022 vintage, crafted by one of Burgundy’s rising talents. Sourced from three premier village lieux-dits—Casse-Têtes, Sous la Velle and La Barre Dessus—this Chardonnay captures the terroir’s marly, clay-and-limestone soils in striking clarity. Every micro-cuvée is vinified as whole clusters, spending 11 months in 456 L barrels (50 percent new) before five months in stainless steel—unfined and unfiltered—to preserve the pure expression of each site. The result is a seamless blend that feels simultaneously precise and generous. Drink now for its vibrant minerality or cellar for up to 10 years to let richer, secondary notes emerge. Made from 100 percent Chardonnay, it offers a firm backbone and bright acidity—perfect alongside seared scallops, roast chicken with lemon thyme or a fresh goats’ cheese salad. The Maker Pierre-Vincent Girardin cut his teeth under Burgundy’s grand domaines, then struck out on his own in 2012 with a singular goal: to distil the purest essence of Meursault’s storied terroir. Working single-parcel parcels across premier lieu-dits, he tends each vine personally—pruning, ploughing and hand-harvesting to ensure fruit arrives at the winery in immaculate condition. His background in oenology underpins a thoughtful, measured approach: fermentation is guided but never forced, and élevage prioritises transparency over showmanship. At the winery, Girardin champions whole-cluster vinification, letting indigenous yeasts and gentle extraction shape each cuvée. He favours large-format, 456-litre barrels (half new) to temper oak’s footprint, then finishes in stainless steel to lock in freshness and purity. Unfined and unfiltered, his wines arrive in bottle as faithful ambassadors of their origin—alive with mineral energy and poised acidity. Today, Pierre-Vincent’s range stands as a testament to small-scale craft. With annual production measured in thousands—not tens of thousands—of bottles, each release feels personal: a snapshot of vintage nuances and a window into Girardin’s relentless quest for balance. His wines are never ostentatious; they simply do their job with quiet confidence. Philosophy At the heart of Girardin’s endeavour lies a reverence for soil. His parcels—Casse-Têtes, Sous la Velle and La Barre Dessus—are chosen for their limestone-marl matrices, each site imparting its own textural signature. By isolating micro-terroirs, he lets geology speak: gunflint minerality, bright citrus tension and the chalky grip that defines top-flight Meursault. Sustainability is more than a buzzword here. Girardin farms organically, accepts vintage variability and avoids chemical shortcuts. Low yields are a feature, not a flaw; they concentrate flavour and ensure vines remain vigorous for generations to come. Every vineyard intervention—from cover crops to canopy management—is calibrated to nurture biodiversity and soil health. In cellar, restraint rules. Fermentation vessels are selected for nuance, élevage schedules are dictated by tasting rather than tradition, and assemblages are kept minimal to preserve site identity. Through these choices, the Girardin range emerges as a cohesive narrative: a clear, unvarnished voice that invites drinkers to explore Meursault one parcel at a time. Tasting Notes NOSE – Flinty Citrus Spark Bright lemon rind meets struck flint, pinpoint fresh. PALATE – Silky Mineral Core Smooth orchard fruit underpinned by steely minerality and a hint of salinity. FINISH – Crisp Saline Drive Lingering salinity and firm acid leave a clean, bracing finish.

Domaine Joseph Colin Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Product Description: One barrel, Grand Cru power—Bâtard-Montrachet with grace and grip. From a single barrel and 50-year-old vines, the 2023 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru from Domaine Joseph Colin is a rare release even by Burgundy standards. Sitting beside Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, this small plot delivers the full breadth of Grand Cru weight and aromatic precision—but with Colin’s unmistakable mineral signature and restraint. The nose is rich yet composed—burnt butter, dried apricot, peach and citrus backed by spice and faint honeysuckle. The palate is commanding, with smoky stone fruit, citrus tension and salinity that reins in the power. It's a wine of muscle and finesse, tightly wound yet already layered. Made without bâtonnage or fining, and with minimal sulphur at bottling, this wine is bottled directly from its original barrel. Best cellared through 2036 or longer. Serve with the finest shellfish, white fish or creamy poultry preparations. Tasting Notes NOSE – Deep and expressive Burnt butter, dried apricot, peach, citrus and spice. PALATE – Grand and balanced Layered orchard fruit, smoky weight, citrus bite and saline lift. FINISH – Long and harmonious Structured, tense and deeply mineral with refined persistence.

Domaine Joseph Colin Saint Aubin 1er cru 'les Murgers Dents de Chien'
Product Description: One of Saint-Aubin’s most serious sites—chalk, cut and quiet power. The 2023 Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Les Murgers Dents de Chien” is drawn from one of the commune’s highest and most esteemed vineyards, perched just above Grand Cru Chevalier-Montrachet and bordering En Remilly. From this steep, limestone-dense slope, Joseph Colin crafts a Chardonnay of precision, structure and depth. Made with a minimalist approach—whole bunch pressed, no bâtonnage or fining, and only minimal sulphur at bottling—the wine is fermented in 350-litre barrels and finished in stainless for extra focus. The nose is tight and reductive at first, slowly unfurling pear, stone fruit and white flowers. The palate is taut, layered and deeply mineral, finishing long with chalk and quiet power. It's slightly more coiled than En Remilly this vintage, with a similar potential arc. Cellar through to 2032 or decant now to pair with scallops, crayfish or rich poultry dishes. Tasting Notes NOSE – Tight and complex Pear, white flowers, crisp stone fruit and a touch of reduction. PALATE – Focused and layered Seamless citrus and orchard fruit over chalk and almond nuance.
