The JM Fourrier 1er Cru Morgeot is an aromatic delight with an inviting nose of lemon, honeysuckle, and acacia. The floral aromas resolve on the elegantly textured palate with soft, fleshy stone fruits, and round-edged citrus. This well-refined Chassagne-Montrachet offers a sumptuous mouthfeel, persistent flavour, and great length.

Intense aromas of crème brûlée, dried pineapple, and botrytis-kissed apricot fill the senses, accented by a hint of vanilla and blossom. The taste is profoundly rich and full-bodied, yet exquisitely fresh, delivering layers of honeyed pear, sweet spices, and a mineral complexity that extends into a seemingly endless, harmonious finish.

Product Description: Pierre-Vincent Girardin’s 2022 Folatières hails from a 0.29 ha domaine plot at the core of “Ez Folatières,” sharing altitude and topography with Les Caillerets and Le Montrachet. As a 13th-generation Burgundian who launched his own label at 21, Girardin channels deep-rooted family know-how into this Chardonnay, creating a signature Puligny that balances intensity with precision. These 40+ year-old vines thrive in clay-limestone soils facing east, under fully organic cultivation. Grapes are pressed whole-cluster, then aged for 12 months in 456 L oak barrels (50% new) before a further 7 months in stainless steel. The result is a wine marked by wet-stone aromatics and bright citrus, underpinned by sculpted mineral drive. Ready to drink now or reward patient cellaring for 10–20 years, this Folatières shows its best at 12 °C. Pair it with poultry in a creamy sauce, veal fried with mushrooms, foie gras, or simply grilled lobster and sea-fish. 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 – Wet Stone & Citrus Mineral-rich aromas of rain-soaked limestone segue into zesty citrus peel.
