About

Vincent Girardin Meursault 1er Cru "Perrières" 2022 is a dry white wine made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, grown in the esteemed Premier Cru vineyard of Les Perrières in Meursault, Burgundy, France. This region is globally recognized for producing some of the finest expressions of Chardonnay, and Vincent Girardin is known for crafting wines that reflect the purity and elegance of their terroir. The 2022 vintage showcases precision winemaking, low-intervention techniques, and the minerality typical of Meursault’s limestone-rich soils.

The eponymous winery Girardin, whose origins date back to 1980, has gained a reputation for producing excellent wine, expressively reflecting the character of the Burgundy area.

Tasting notes

Vincent Girardin Meursault 1er Cru “Perrières” 2022 opens with aromas of citrus blossom, white peach, and toasted hazelnuts, layered with subtle notes of flint and wet stone. The palate is vibrant and structured, revealing a core of lemon curd, green apple, and a touch of brioche, supported by bright acidity and a chalky minerality. The finish is long and elegant, marked by tension, finesse, and a whisper of oak.

Pairing

This Meursault pairs beautifully with seared scallops, lobster in butter sauce, or creamy poultry dishes, enhancing their richness with its crisp acidity. It also complements aged cheeses like Comté or Gruyère, creating a luxurious and balanced pairing.

Meursault

All products from this village

Mersault is the standard of French Chardonnay and one of the best representatives of "white" Burgundy. The wines are well-balanced, with round fruit notes and a rich fresh butter aroma due to ageing in oak barrels. They are characterized as silky and oily with a strong and long-lasting aftertaste, and become even more intense in the aroma over time, still maintaining their velvety and sensual style.

Burgundy

All products from this region

Burgundy (Bourgogne) can be confusing because of the multiplicity of its appellations - all the small vineyards are divided between multiple producers so it can often be difficult to understand this diversity. However, it is the exact reason why the wines of Burgundy are considered to be the finest in the world. A common topic of discussion, when talking about Burgundy, is the concept of "terroir" - a unique combination of soil and climate conditions that affects the taste of wine in the appellations, making it unique to each village. Winemakers mainly use the capricious Pinot Noir and the classical Chardonnay to create true masterpieces, while Gamay and Aligote are used to make wines of a bit simpler style. Particular attention should be paid to the hierarchy of wines. First there are the regional and village wines, a step higher - the Premier Cru wines and the outstanding Grand Cru - at the top. Due the complex and inconsistent weather that can notably impact wine quality especially in bad harvest years, a very important factor here is the so called millesime - the harvest year of the grapes the particular wine is produced of, because each of these years has its own unique taste. Purchasing Burgundy wines is not easy because there are many details that should be taken into consideration - the class of the vineyard, the assessment of the manufacturer, the age of the vines, the quality of the wine as well as the millesime and, of course, the potential of ageing. The sellers play a big role here - they must be truly passionate about wine and able to offer only the best quality producers with a good reputation. That is exactly the way "Noble Wine" works!
