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 oak getting in the way, just pure, nuanced flavors.

We were among the first to spot his talent and build a strong connection with him. Thanks to that, we’re able to offer these beautiful wines that showcase his meticulous, artisan approach.
