Burgundy Precision, Rooted in Meursault
Vincent Girardin began in 1980, when 19-year-old Vincent inherited two hectares from his Santenay winemaking family, whose roots go back to the 17th century. Demand soon outgrew the family vineyards, so he added a négociant business, buying grapes from growers who shared his approach. Today the Meursault-based house draws on vineyards across 11 Côte de Beaune villages.
Grapes are hand-harvested, then ferment slowly with indigenous yeasts and rest on fine lees in oak, with new oak used sparingly. The result is a precise, terroir-led style, from village Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet to grand cru Corton-Charlemagne. Long regarded as a safe bet in Burgundy, Vincent Girardin suits collectors and white Burgundy lovers building a cellar.
