The Girardin name has been synonymous with elite level Burgundy for 700 years, most recently through the wines of Justin’s uncle, Vincent Girardin, and his father, Jacques Girardin.  With the provenance of this family’s holdings and the talent seemingly entrenched in this bloodline, Justin is more than a name to watch – He is without question one of the most exciting young names in the region, farming 17 hectares of vines in Pommard, Chassagne Montrachet, and Savigny-les-Beaune using organic and biodynamic practices.

Each generation renews and enriches the family know-how and heritage. Justin (pictured) arrived at the family estate in 2013 and took over in 2017. He represents the 13th generation at the head of the estate. Rich in family know-how and with his experience outside Burgundy, he brings a new breath of fresh air and a modern vision to the elaboration of our wines. With a single white grape variety, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir as the only red grape variety, the vinification must be done with rigour, meticulousness and intelligence. With his team of passionate professionals and always supported by his parents, he develops the family business. His vision is simple: to always question himself in order to seek the best quality possible and allow each wine to be the purest expression of its terroir.
