Pierre-Vincent Girardin Vosne Romanée Les Damaudes

Product Description: Pinot precision from a prized Vosne lieu-dit. The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Damaudes from Pierre-Vincent Girardin delivers a vivid snapshot of site and winemaker in sync. This rare parcel sits just above the hallowed Vosne 1er Cru Malconsorts at 300–350 metres elevation, planted with vines over 50 years old. It’s a wine of altitude, energy and poise. Girardin treats this terroir with finesse: whole-cluster fermented, matured 11 months in oak (one-third new), then a short stint in steel before bottling unfined and unfiltered. The result is a racy, blackcurrant-fruited Pinot with sculpted tannins and a mineral backbone that reflects its clay-limestone soils. Structured yet supple, this cuvée will reward cellaring for 6 to 12 years. Ideal with game birds, roast lamb, or a pan-seared foie gras. 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 – Dark fruit and spice Aromatic lift of blackcurrant, wild cherry and subtle earth. PALATE – Racy and refined Fresh black fruit rides a frame of fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. FINISH – Silky and persistent Velvety texture tapers into a savoury, mineral finish.

Pierre-Vincent Girardin Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Les Pucelles

Product Description: Next-gen Puligny with Grand Cru pedigree. Pierre-Vincent Girardin’s 2022 Les Pucelles is a razor-sharp expression of one of Puligny-Montrachet’s most fabled Premier Cru sites. Sourced from vines that sit shoulder-to-shoulder with Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, this wine is the work of a rising star whose Burgundy roots run 13 generations deep. Girardin brings precision and flair to this cuvée, drawing on organic methods and elite vineyard access. Fermented whole cluster, aged 11 months in 100% new oak, and then six more in steel, it balances richness with taut acidity. There’s both power and restraint here—true to site, but charged with youthful verve. Expect it to reward cellaring over the next two decades. 100% Chardonnay, and perfectly suited to dishes like lobster, foie gras, or classic poultry in sauce.

FINISH – Long and savoury A saline edge and mineral cut carry through a long, mouth-watering finish.

Pierre- Vincent Girardin Puligny-Montrachet Folatieres

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.

Pierre-Vincent Girardin Puligny-Montrachet

Pierre-Vincent Girardin’s 2022 Puligny-Montrachet comes from two prized lieux-dits, “Les Charmes” and “Les Corvées des Vignes,” on the northern edge of the village. As a 13th-generation Burgundian who struck out on his own at 21, Girardin channels centuries of expertise into each bottle, making his young label a go-to for Chardonnays that marry pedigree with personality. These 30+ year-old vines thrive in clay-limestone soils under organic and biodynamic cultivation. Whole-cluster pressing feeds into 11 months of barrel ageing (40% new oak) before a further six months in stainless steel, preserving the wine’s tension and energy. The result is a wine of precision—bright grapefruit and gunflint notes cutting through a pure mineral core. Drinkable now for its vivid attack and sleek palate, this Puligny-Montrachet will also reward careful cellaring over the next 8–15 years. Serve at 12 ºC alongside poultry in sauce, veal with mushrooms, foie gras or simply grilled lobster and sea-fish.

Pierre-Vincent Girardin Meursault Éclat de Calcaire

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.

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Chardonnay

Product Description: A full-throttle Chardonnay with cool-climate finesse—Ribbon Vale finds its stride in 2024. Now in its fourth release, the 2024 Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Chardonnay is a benchmark expression of Wilyabrup terroir. Sourced from a higher-altitude vineyard in one of Margaret River’s driest, warmest growing seasons in decades, this single-vineyard wine captures richness and clarity in equal measure. The grapes were hand-picked early—nearly a month ahead of average—but delivered pristine, flavour-packed fruit with natural acidity and structure. Fermented in stainless steel then transferred to French oak barriques (47% new) for malolactic fermentation and nine months’ maturation, this is a Chardonnay built on balance. Bright citrus and peach are layered with white florals, toasted pastry, almond and honeyed spice. Creamy in texture but always guided by mineral drive and energetic acidity, it’s a wine that’s both immediately generous and built for evolution. Drink now for its lemon curd plushness and textural lift, or cellar for up to 20 years as it develops toast, caramel and nutty depth. Tasting Notes NOSE – Bright and layered White peach, preserved lemon and jasmine, backed by vanilla, pastry, and a hint of ginger. PALATE – Creamy and driven Honeydew, apricot and cashew wrapped in nougat, with crème caramel and crisp citrus tension. FINISH – Long and mineral Textured and persistent with toasty oak, white spice and saline lift. Reviews & Accolades There are some very impressive chardonnay releases coming out of Margaret River right now – and this is up there with best of them. There is plenty happening on the palate of this single-vineyard release, but it also has a touch of the supermodel about it; shiny without a hair out of place. From a very fine vintage this has seen aging on lees to add complexity, but it retains all the elements of a classic cooler-climate chardonnay: citrus flavours to the fore. It's full flavoured but effortlessly elegant and decidedly delicious. Pair with pork or poultry dishes. – Winsor Dobbin, Wine of the Week Ripening took place over a slightly shorter period than this region usually sees. Yields were down but quality was up. This is the fourth vintage of the Ribbon Vale Chardy and it has established itself as a fine addition to the range. The wine saw nine months maturation in French oak barriques, 47% of which was new. A deep gold colour here, this is big, bold and rich. A Chardy chockers with flavour. What is exciting is that we are already seeing the early emergence of complexity. The nose exhibits notes of white peaches, citrus, a hint of the tropicals, hazelnuts, ginger, lemongrass, spices and very good oak integration. There is a creamy texture with juicy acidity and superb length. This has at least six to eight years of providing pleasure ahead of it and it will certainly improve further over that period, although the team see it as ageing for a number of years more than that. – Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot, 94 Points Pale colour. Intense lemon curd, grapefruit, tropical fruit aromas with ginger/ hint vanilla notes. Generous and creamy with ample lemon glacé, grapefruit, rock melon flavours, fine slinky touch grippy textures, marvellous viscosity and underlying roasted almond, vanilla notes. Finishes bittersweet and minerally. Lovely regional presence and vinosity. Brilliant wine. – Andrew Caillard, The Vintage Journal, 96 Points The warmer vintage is certainly reflected immediately in the bright golden colour. This is a rich and textured chardonnay from the Ribbon Vale vineyard. Honeycomb and light cereal characters emerge on the nose and palate. There’s an underlying savouriness that sustains through to the very long finish. Beautifully balanced with a crisp acidity controlling the finish. The higher altitude vineyard contributes to more of the lively citrus, white peach, and grapefruit nuances. – Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot, 94 Points Moss Wood Ribbon Vale (RV) Chardonnay is one of 2 single vineyard Chardonnays from Wilyabrup released by the Domain. The RV vineyard is higher altitude and cooler than Moss Wood Vineyard, typically resulting in a higher acid style. 2024 was a warm, dry vintage with grapes picked in mid February, 1 month earlier than average. Grapes are handpicked and sorted, fermented in steel and oak. It’s a complex wine undergoing malolactic fermentation and ageing in 47% new French oak. RV 2024 is a full-bodied Chardonnay with white and yellow peach flavors. It’s early days for wine of this quality but its balance is already clear – fruit, integrated with high quality oak and a great acid line driving everything along. – Fergal Gleeson, Great Wine Blog Finer Details Style: White Wine Varietal: Chardonnay Country: Australia Region: Margaret River, Western Australia Vintage: 2024 Bottle Size: 750ml ABV: 14% Closure: Screw Cap
