Winery
Vincent Girardin inherited two hectares of vines from his parents and started his winery business in 1980 at age 19. His passion for vine work and ambition to craft exceptional wines quickly garnered acclaim.
Focusing on Côte de Beaune's finest whites and reds, Girardin's innovative approach involved sourcing grapes from like-minded growers to meet rising demand.
By 2000, a transformative shift towards terroir expression ensued with winemaker Eric Germain. The sale of his enterprise in 2012 saw continuity under Mr. Nié, preserving Girardin's legacy. Their prestigious range spans 9 Côte de Beaune villages, showcasing sustainable viticulture in esteemed appellations like Meursault and Pommard.
