The Estate

Vincent Girardin created this wine estate in 1982 from 3 hectares of vines historically belonging to his family in the commune of Santenay. In the 90s, he managed to acquire around fifteen hectares of vines by purchasing locally. The 2000s represented a real turning point in the history of the Domaine. Indeed, the addition of the Domaine Henri Clair de Puligny-Montrachet in 2000 brought very great appellations (Bienvenue Bâtard-Montrachet for example). In addition, Eric Germain joined the Domaine in 2002 to take charge of winemaking. His training, his experience and his major oenological skills then represented an essential asset for Vincent Girardin. In 2012, Vincent Girardin sold the estate to the Compagnie des Vins d'Autrefois based in Beaune and a historic partner of the Domaine. The team has however remained the same and continues to perpetuate the original spirit.

The terroir

About fifty years old, the vines are located in the commune of Saint-Aubin just behind Montrachet halfway up the hillside and benefit from a beautiful southern exposure. The soil is made up of white clayey and very calcareous earth.

The grape variety

Originally from Burgundy, Chardonnay produces exceptional white wines. It particularly appreciates the clay-limestone soils of its region of origin but it also has a great capacity to adapt to different climates and soils. This has allowed it to become the most cultivated white grape variety in the world.
