Pierre-Vincent Girardin founded his own domaine in Meursault in 2016, at nineteen, on parcels handed down by his father Vincent Girardin. He is the 13th generation of a Burgundian winemaking family; his first vintage was released in 2017.

He farms around five hectares of his own vines, completed by fruit bought from long-standing growers, with the estate set to reach ten hectares and complete its conversion to organic farming by 2026.

The signature is restraint. Ageing takes place in large-format barrels, which slow the exchange with the wood and keep the oak out of the way. The wines are built on tension and precision rather than richness.

Bâtard-Montrachet is one of the summits of white Burgundy — a grand cru straddling Puligny and Chassagne, on deeper, richer soils than Le Montrachet itself, giving wines of weight and breadth.

Acacia honey, white peach and hazelnut over a mineral undertow; a palate that is powerful without ever thickening, dense and saline, with exceptional length. Made in minute quantity, and worth the wait — open from 2028.
