Vincent Girardin
Over ten generations of Girardins originated in Santenay until 1982 when Jean Girardin split up the vineyards between his four children. His son, Vincent, bought more vineyards and began a negociant business moving to Meursault. There is an emphasis on purity of fruit with minimal oak in both the reds and whites. Approachable when young, the Grand Cru have the potential for cellaring.

Vinous (91-93)The 2019 Meursault Les Charmes-Dessus 1er Cru comes from two parcels located down from Les Perrières. The vines are 65 years old, one parcel on SO4 rootstock that is particularly low-yielding. This has a pretty bouquet, understated at first and then unfolding to reveal crushed stone and yellow flower aromas. The palate is well balanced with a smooth, slightly honeyed opening, richer than the preceding Village Crus but nicely focused. Lemon curd and a touch of stem ginger toward the finish. A delicious Meursault to drink over the next 12–15 years. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2020 Meursault Les Charmes-Dessus 1er Cru has a little more intensity on the nose compares to the Les Narvaux. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tension, quite poised and tensil with a twist of bitter lemon and orange rind furnishing the finish. This should drink well over the next decade. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)From three sources, all in the upper part. Glowing mid yellow. Lovely weight of fruit here, the oak lending a light coconut touch. There is a proper concentration behind, ripe enough as well, almost a petrol noted, and very persistent. Drink from 2026-2031. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-94)Bright pale primrose, with a reductive nose. There’s a very significant weight to the fruit though, with good acidity behind, a little yellow fruit then a cushion of broad-based orchard fruit behind. A punchy, energetic finish. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted: November 2023. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2019 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru comes from a 0.42-hectare parcel of 55-year-old vines. This is a step up in quality, delivering impressive, mineral-rich citrus fruit that conveys real vibrancy. The palate is well balanced with touches of praline and nectarine and a lovely build in the mouth while maintaining fine tension, leading to a spicy and quite persistent finish. This is a quality Genevrières that should age well over the next two decades. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2020 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru has an attractive orange blossom and apricot scented nose, perhaps just needing a little more mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with fine crisp acidity, fresh with Golden Delicious and orange rind note. Quite linear towards the finish, this is a very approachable Meursault that should age well over the next 12-15 years. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-93)Six barrels in all, from various sources. Clear bright mid yellow. A little bit more savoury, some pepper here, leaner and finer in profile than the Charmes but not quite as complete overall. Decent persistence. Drink from 2026-2030. |

Burgundy | 1 | 96 (VN) | HK$16,485.00 | |||||
Vinous (96)The 2017 Meursault Les Perrières 1er Cru is noticeably pale in color. It has a voluminous, powerful nose with quite a generous slab of new oak, but there is plenty of fruit behind it, ready to absorb it with bottle age. The palate is fresh on the entry with vibrant acidity, and more malic than its peers, then taut and linear, with a vein of sour lemon mixed with spice toward the very persistent finish. Très Perrières. This deserves several years in a cool, damp cellar. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93-95)Mid to full lemon yellow. The bouquet here displays a class and a weight of fruit over and above the others. There is impressive depth through the middle of the palate, then a saline note at the back, as the minerality of the vineyard punches through the undoubted flesh. A good long finish. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: November 2023. |

Vinous (87-89)The 2021 Meursault Les Narvaux has a much more backward/reticent nose than its peers despite coaxing. The palate is well balanced with orange rind and touches of marmalade, and though 15% new wood is used, it feels like more on the finish. It will need time for that to be subsumed, so afford it a couple of years in bottle. |
