Who makes it
Pierre-Vincent Girardin is the thirteenth generation of a Burgundian winemaking family. His own domaine is based in Meursault and had reached 13 hectares by 2025. The white wines include the Bourgogne Blanc Éclat de Calcaire and Corton-Charlemagne La Croix. Red wines are made as well, with a separate cellar approach for extraction and finishing.
When Vincent Girardin sold Domaine Vincent Girardin in 2011, he retained 4.5 hectares and passed them to his son. Pierre-Vincent used that retained ground to establish his own domaine in Meursault. The first vintage was 2017. A later white wine, the 2019 Corton-Charlemagne, used purchased Chardonnay grapes from the Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton sectors.
Where it grows
Meursault places the domaine in Burgundy's Côte de Beaune. Long term grower contracts cover Puligny Folatières, Volnay Clos des Chênes, Pommard Epenots, Corton-Charlemagne and Montrachet. The named places include vineyard sites and appellations, connecting Bourgogne Blanc with wines attached to more specific Burgundy addresses.
How it is made
The cellar
The domaine's farms have been organic since 2018, and Pierre-Vincent Girardin has introduced biodynamic methods. Since the farming change in 2019, he raises the espaliers higher than is traditional in Burgundy.
The Meursault winery includes a laboratory and controlled ageing conditions for temperature and humidity. For white wines, Girardin commissioned custom larger barrels, whose greater volume reduces the proportion of oak surface touching the wine. Lower evaporation from this format allows reduced sulphur dioxide use. Red wines avoid punch-downs, pump-overs, délestage, refining and filtration.
What they make
The white range includes Éclat de Calcaire, a Bourgogne Blanc from the lower parts of Meursault and Volnay, alongside Corton-Charlemagne wines. The 2019 Corton-Charlemagne is Chardonnay made from purchased grapes, while Corton-Charlemagne La Croix appears in 2021 and 2023. The 2021 La Croix is 100% Chardonnay. The 2023 La Croix carries substantial but controlled weight, with generous fruit held by a firm mineral line.
Red wines occupy another part of the range and use no punch-downs, pump-overs, délestage, refining or filtration.
