This family-owned estate, overseen by Pierre Girardin, is celebrated for its unwavering commitment to quality and meticulous attention to expressing Burgundy's renowned terroirs.
With vineyards spanning across prestigious appellations in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, such as Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay, and Pommard, Domaine Pierre Girardin benefits from diverse soils and microclimates.
