In the past, this single parcel was enclosed within walls of dry stones and belonged to the monks of Chablis Hospices, hence its name.

Pierre-Vincent Girardin Meursault Le Limozin
Product Description: Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in large-format 456 L barrels (30 percent new) for ten months before a further eight months in stainless steel, Le Limozin marries depth with precision. The restrained use of oak and a gentle hands-off approach yield a wine that balances ripe orchard characters against a flinty limestone core. Drink now to enjoy its vibrant tension or cellar for up to eight years to savour developing honeyed notes. Made from 100 percent Chardonnay, it thrives alongside pan-roasted pork belly, shellfish in beurre blanc or a creamy mushroom risotto. 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 – Orchard & Smoke White peach and pear framed by a whisper of struck flint. PALATE – Chalky Mineral Drive Steely citrus and saline lift carry through a textured mid-palate.

Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis Grand Cru Bougros

Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot
Product Description: Purity and refinement distinguish the Domaine Samuel Billaud Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot 2023.

Compared with the muscularity of Les Clos, Blanchot offers a more airy, satin-textured profile with graceful intensity.

With time in bottle it will gain honeyed and hazelnut nuances while retaining its crystalline line of acidity. It pairs beautifully with scallops, poached lobster, delicate white fish or lightly creamy seafood preparations.
