Pierre Girardin is the 13th generation of his family to make wine in Burgundy. He grew up learning in the cellar of his revered father, Vincent Girardin, from a very young age. When the elder Girardin sold his domaine in 2011, he made sure to keep 4.5 hectares of his best sites to one day pass on to his son, the same thing his father did for him a generation before. In 2017, Pierre made his first vintage and immediately garnered the attention of Burgundy lovers everywhere. His father’s extensive contacts in Burgundy allowed Pierre to supplement his domaine vineyards through long term contracts with top growers who hold his meticulous viticultural philosophy. Together, it represents a portfolio of terroir rarely seen under one roof. To make white wines with the purity, cut and precision he desires, Pierre commissioned custom 456L barrels from Francois Freres to reduce the amount of new wood influence.
