Pierre-Vincent Girardin represents a new generation of Burgundy winemaking, bringing a contemporary approach to some of the region's most recognised appellations.
The son of established Burgundian winemaker Vincent Girardin, Pierre-Vincent established his own label with a focus on vineyard expression, careful élevage and a restrained approach in the cellar.
The range is centred on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with particular depth in the Côte de Beaune. From Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet to Premier Cru vineyards and selected Côte de Nuits reds, the wines offer an opportunity to explore Burgundy through individual villages, sites and vintages.
Our Pierre-Vincent Girardin collection includes Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet and Vosne-Romanée, alongside Bourgogne Blanc and a distinctive Savagnin release.
A New Generation in Burgundy
Pierre-Vincent Girardin grew up within one of Burgundy's established winemaking families, gaining an early understanding of the vineyards and traditions that define the region.
His own label reflects a more individual approach, with an emphasis on expressing the character of each vineyard rather than imposing a uniform house style.
The wines have become particularly associated with a precise, mineral-driven interpretation of white Burgundy, balancing concentration with freshness and restraint.
Across both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the intention is to preserve the identity of the fruit and its place of origin.
Pierre-Vincent Girardin Meursault
Meursault is central to the Pierre-Vincent Girardin range.
Situated in the Côte de Beaune, the appellation is renowned for Chardonnay capable of combining texture, depth and freshness. Differences between individual lieux-dits can be considerable, making Meursault particularly rewarding to explore by vineyard.
Our collection includes wines such as Meursault Le Limozin, Les Narvaux and Éclat de Calcaire, providing several perspectives on the appellation.
Rather than treating Meursault as a single style, these bottlings allow the character of individual sites and growing seasons to come forward.
Meursault Les Narvaux & Le Limozin
Two particularly interesting expressions within the range are Les Narvaux and Le Limozin.
Les Narvaux is a recognised Meursault lieu-dit situated on the slopes above the village. Its position contributes to a style often associated with freshness, definition and mineral tension.
Le Limozin lies closer to the Premier Cru vineyards of Meursault and provides a different expression of the village's Chardonnay.
Exploring these wines alongside one another offers a useful introduction to the importance of individual vineyard sites in Burgundy.
Pierre-Vincent Girardin Puligny-Montrachet
Puligny-Montrachet is another important part of the collection.
One of the Côte de Beaune's most celebrated white wine villages, Puligny-Montrachet is particularly associated with Chardonnay of precision, structure and finesse.
Pierre-Vincent Girardin's Puligny-Montrachet wines extend from village-level expressions to individual Premier Cru vineyards, allowing the appellation to be explored at different levels of specificity.
For those familiar with Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet provides a compelling point of comparison within the Côte de Beaune.
Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru
The collection includes Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Pucelles, one of the appellation's recognised Premier Cru vineyards.
Premier Cru classification identifies vineyards with a historically established reputation for quality, while the character of the individual site remains central to the wine.
Les Pucelles occupies a distinguished position within Puligny-Montrachet and offers a more site-specific expression of Chardonnay than a broader village bottling.
It is an important part of the range for those exploring the relationship between Burgundy's appellation hierarchy and individual vineyard character.
Chardonnay Across the Côte de Beaune
While Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet provide the strongest focus, the collection also extends to Beaune Premier Cru Les Grandes Épenotes Blanc and Bourgogne Blanc.
These wines broaden the view of Chardonnay across Burgundy, from a regional appellation to individual Premier Cru sites.
Éclat de Calcaire Bourgogne Blanc provides a particularly useful entry point into Pierre-Vincent Girardin's approach, while the Premier Cru releases offer greater specificity of origin.
Together, they demonstrate the range of expressions possible from Chardonnay within Burgundy's varied vineyard landscape.
Pierre-Vincent Girardin Pinot Noir
Although the producer is particularly associated with white Burgundy, Pinot Noir forms an important part of the collection.
Our range includes wines from Vosne-Romanée and Chassagne-Montrachet, two appellations with distinctly different identities.
Vosne-Romanée, in the Côte de Nuits, is among Burgundy's most celebrated villages for Pinot Noir. Chassagne-Montrachet, in the Côte de Beaune, is widely associated with Chardonnay but also produces red wines from Pinot Noir.
These releases offer another perspective on Pierre-Vincent Girardin's winemaking beyond Chardonnay.
Vosne-Romanée
Vosne-Romanée is one of the defining Pinot Noir appellations of the Côte de Nuits.
The village is home to some of Burgundy's most celebrated vineyards, with wines recognised for their aromatic complexity, structure and capacity to develop with age.
Our collection includes Vosne-Romanée Les Damaudes, a named vineyard site that provides a more specific expression of the appellation.
It offers a compelling contrast to the producer's Côte de Beaune wines, both geographically and stylistically.
Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Rouge
While Chassagne-Montrachet is best known internationally for white Burgundy, the appellation also has a longstanding tradition of producing Pinot Noir.
Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru Clos de la Maltroie Rouge brings that less familiar side of the village into focus.
As a Premier Cru red from an appellation more commonly associated with Chardonnay, it adds an interesting dimension to the collection and reinforces the diversity of Burgundy's individual vineyard sites.
Éclat de Calcaire
The Éclat de Calcaire name appears within Pierre-Vincent Girardin's Chardonnay range, including bottlings from Meursault and Bourgogne Blanc.
The name, translating approximately to a burst or brilliance of limestone, reflects the importance of Burgundy's limestone-rich vineyard landscapes to the identity of its wines.
These releases provide another way to explore the producer's approach to Chardonnay across different appellation levels.
Beyond Burgundy: Le Châtaignier Savagnin
The range also includes Le Châtaignier Savagnin, an intriguing departure from the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines at its centre.
Savagnin is a white grape most closely associated with the Jura region of eastern France, where it is used to produce both fresh, non-oxidative wines and traditional oxidative styles.
Its presence in the Pierre-Vincent Girardin range broadens the collection beyond Burgundy's two principal varieties and offers something different for those interested in lesser-seen French white wines.
Exploring Burgundy by Vineyard
One of the most rewarding ways to approach Pierre-Vincent Girardin is through the differences between individual vineyards.
A regional Bourgogne Blanc, a village Meursault and a Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru each represent a different level of geographic specificity.
Within a single village, wines such as Les Narvaux and Le Limozin offer another layer of comparison, showing how neighbouring sites can produce distinct expressions of the same variety.
The range is therefore particularly well suited to those interested in Burgundy not simply as a region, but as a collection of individual places.
