The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Pierre Girardin, son of the renowned Vincent Girardin, is making a name for himself with stunning wines that capture the essence of Burgundy. His Meursaults and Pommards are something special—delicate and layered, without heavy oaky influences getting in the way, just pure, nuanced flavors.

We were among the first to recognise his talent and build a strong relationship with him. Today, this partnership allows us to offer you these cuvées, which perfectly showcase his masterful craftsmanship.
Wine From a southern parcel in Beaune, originally planted with Pinot Noir until 2019, the 2022 White Beaune 1er Cru Les Grandes Épenotes is a relatively new release for the estate. This wine brings a refreshing energy, with 40% aged in new oak barrels, offering up citrus notes, vibrancy, and a finish that lingers. Simply impeccable!
Vinification Hand-harvested, vinified in whole bunches.
Aged in 456-liter barrels (40% new wood) for 9 months, then in vats for 3 months.
