2020 Vincent Girardin, Meursault, "Les Narvaux"

Pundits and collectors alike have praised Vincent Girardin’s wines for their elegance, complexity, and balance. Through meticulous winemaking techniques, Girardin’s Chardonnays are renowned for their terroir-driven complexity. The winery owns and cultivates vineyards in some of the most prestigious appellations in Burgundy, including Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Volnay. 

When Vincent Girardin founded his eponymous winery in the early 1980s, he was often referred to as a “newcomer” to the hallowed winemaking of Burgundy, given that neighboring maisons had been producing wines for centuries. The truth, however, is more nuanced. Vincent is a descendant of a family of vintners who have been winegrowers since the 17th century. For Vincent, founding his own winery was a chance to apply his philosophy, but with centuries of family know-how in his back pocket. The wines quickly became some of the most sought-after and respected examples from the region, showing purity and soft-spoken power. 

"Narvaux" is a lieu-dit single vineyard and one of the most prestigious village appellations in Meursault, just above the Premier Cru “Les Genevrières" vineyards and retails for nearly 30% less! Sourced from 40-year-old vines. 

93 Points, Wine Advocate:
"A terrific effort ... unwinds in the glass with notes of crisp orchard fruit, citrus zest, hazelnuts, white flowers and light reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with racy acids, excellent depth at the core and a long, saline finish, this can go head to head with the appellation's élite."
