Persoonlijke gegevens
Justin Girardin is the 13th generation of a family business that has existed since 1570. The winery owns 17 hectares, most of which is in Santenay (Côte de Beaune). In that appellation he pushes the boundaries of quality. Justin has been using methods that correspond to bio(-dynamic) for years. The goal: healthy nature with healthy grapes that reflect the terroir of the individual vineyards.
The chardonnay grapes come from a plot in Meursault that is located in the 'climats' Les Clous Dessous and Les Vireuils. The soils here consist of young marl and limestone. The vineyards are located at the top of a sloping plateau and slope slightly to the east. The vines are 40 years old. The grapes are picked by hand and pressed as soon as they arrive in the wine cellar. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks takes place at a controlled temperature of 10 degrees to preserve aromas. Only natural yeasts from the environment are used during fermentation. The wine then matures for 24 months in French oak barrels (from Allier and Bertanges), 25% of which are new. The wine matures on its own yeast cells, to add extra creaminess and complexity to the wine.
In the glass, the Justin Girardin Meursault is lemon yellow in color with fine aromas of lemon peel, hazelnut and butter in the nose. This Girardin Meursault is a very refined Meursault that is built on freshness where balance predominates, so measured wood tones with beautiful acidity and good layering. This beautiful Meursault is highly recommended. Of course delicious with a multitude of dishes, but try veal sweetbreads with morels. Delicious!

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Justin Girardin Meursault 2022 toont frisse citrustoetsen van citroenschil, een romige boternootachtige textuur en subtiele hazelnoot- en eikehouttonen die samen voor een elegante, goed gelaagde Chardonnay met levendige zuren zorgen. Door de frisse zuurgraad en de zachte houtinvloeden snijdt de wijn door rijke smaken van vette vis en romige schaaldiergerechten en vormt hij tevens een mooi tegenwicht bij kazen; probeer hem bij kalfszwezerik met morieljes, bij gepaneerde of in roomboter gebakken zeevis, gegrilde sint-jakobsvruchten of bij milde tot licht gerijpte kazen om de complexe aroma’s en romigheid optimaal te laten spreken. |
Justin Girardin is the 13th generation of a family business that has been in existence since 1570. The winery owns 17 hectares, the largest part of which is in Santenay (Côte de Beaune). In this appellation he pushes the boundaries of quality. Justin has been using methods that correspond to bio(-dynamic) for years. The goal: a healthy nature with healthy grapes that reflect the terroir of the individual vineyards. For that reason, he is also frugal with new oak barrels. Best of all are the extremely favorable prices for Burgundy, a rarity these days.
Justin Girardin is out in the vineyards as often as he can. He uses a minimal intervision: nature is leading and he only adjusts if necessary. He does this very carefully, by the way: remove buds to limit the yield, remove excess leaves where necessary.
Justin has been working for years according to methods that correspond to biological (-dynamic) working. For example, he plants new vines according to the lunar calendar, as is common in biodynamic viticulture. He covers prunings with soil, after which he reuses them as compost. He regularly plows the vineyards to promote micro-organism activity in the soil. Roots on the surface are gently removed so that the roots penetrate deeper into the soil, resulting in more intense wines.
Special is the wide variety of old Chardonnay and Pinot Noir clones in the vineyards. This promotes biodiversity. The clones originated in these vineyards and were preserved through clone selection. It makes the wines unique and really tied to their location.
