Pierre Girardin Meursault 1er Cru 'Les Perrières' 2022

Pierre Girardin’s Meursault 1er Cru “Les Perrières” 2022 is a striking expression of one of Burgundy’s most revered white wine terroirs. Sourced from the famed limestone-rich slopes of Les Perrières, this Chardonnay captures the essence of Meursault’s most mineral-driven climat—where precision, tension, and depth come together in a finely sculpted frame. The vintage shows a purity of fruit that leans toward citrus oil, white peach, and green apple, lifted by delicate floral notes and a subtle reductive edge that enhances its sense of energy and restraint. There is an immediate impression of stony intensity, as if the wine is carved directly from chalk and crushed rock.

On the palate, it is focused and deeply structured, combining a dense core of fruit with a driving, chalky minerality that defines the site. The texture is both rich and linear, balancing Meursault’s natural generosity with a cool, almost austere backbone. Layers of lemon zest, wet stone, and a faint hazelnut nuance from careful oak aging unfold slowly, leading to a long, precise finish marked by saline lift and lingering citrus. This is a serious, cellar-worthy Perrières that already shows remarkable clarity, yet promises even greater complexity with time in bottle.
