Wondering if anyone can help me discover whats wrong. I opened this bottle yesterday and it wasnt at all what I expected, I was hoping for a Bourgogne kind of pallet but it was extremely funky, high acidity, a nose that went all over with unpleasant fermented hints and a wine that wasnt balanced at all.
It wasnt corked, is this some kind of wild natural wine experiment by Girardin? (Its VDF AOC) Or is it faulted in some other way?

Could be volatile acidity issue – sometimes happens with natural winemaking when fermentation gets bit wild. The “unpleasant fermented hints” you mention really point to VA or maybe some brett contamination, both can make wine taste funky and unbalanced like you described
I’ve found that his 23 is a little astringent compared to the 22.
