Description
About the Producer
The first traces of the Girardin family in Burgundy goes back to 1570. Farmers for 13 generations, the family has worked for a long time in polyculture between the harvesting of crops, raising cattle and vine growing. It is only at the end of the second World War that the family specialises in winemaking. In the late 50's – 60's, Jean Girardin acquires many parcels on the best terroirs of Santenay and begins to develop his estate. Jacques and Valérie, Justin's parents, will continue this effort expanding to Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard and Savigny-les-Beaune. With the inheritance and other succession games, the estate continues to grow to cover today 17 hectares of vines over the best terroirs of the Côte de Beaune. Each generation renews and enriches the family know-how and heritage. Justin arrived at the family estate in 2013 and took over in 2017. He represents the 13th generation at the head of the estate.
