Son of Vincent Girardin, Pierre Girardin crafts top-notch cuvées on his personal domain that showcase all the refinement of Burgundy. Whether in Meursault, Pommard, or Corton, his success is evident, with his wines expressing the utmost delicacy, infused with a style never overly influenced by aging.

We were among the first to recognize his talent and establish strong relationships; Olivier Poussier already sees him as a great winemaker and readily compares him to Jean-Marie Guffens...
