2024 PVG: Jura by way of Burgundy

Pierre Vincent Girardin, Meursault

If you are a man of terroir, standardisation is the last thing you want to achieve.

Vincent Girardin sold off the majority of the house's holdings (ex: Echézeaux, Lavaux St. Jacques, and Griotte Chambertin), and kept 4.5 hectares in Pommard, Volnay, and Meursault for his son, Pierre Girardin. Then, not long after, Pierre turned around and purchased holdings in Jura. This should give you an indication of how much he believes in the terroir that Jura has to offer. After trying this wines we are well convinced of his efforts as the they're incredibly focused and detailed with PVG's signature vinification methods. i.e. crisp, mineral, reductive and detailed. His Jura parcels are not new per say, as each holding is old vine and massal selection of Chardonnay and Savagnin. Impressed is an understatement; simply recommending them is a restraint of our admiration for this new venture.
