The estate

Founded in 2017 in Meursault, Domaine Pierre Girardin embodies the new generation of Burgundy. At the helm of the estate, Pierre-Vincent Girardin, thirteenth-generation winegrower in his family, struck out on his own at just 21 years old. Building on a core of 4.5 hectares of elite vines preserved by his father Vincent, the current owner combines a centuries-old heritage with an ultra-modern vision. The estate stands out for its organic viticulture, its precise ageing and its determination to offer the purest expression of Burgundian terroirs.

The vineyard

The vines of Chassagne-Montrachet flourish on the clay-limestone soils typical of the appellation, ensuring efficient drainage. The estate has applied the principles of organic farming since 2018, using natural elements such as copper and sulphur to protect the vineyard. Harvesting is carried out by hand in order to preserve the integrity and optimal quality of the grapes.

The vintage

The 2024 year is marked by low yields on certain plots, resulting in increased berry concentration while maintaining a perfectly controlled balance.

Winemaking and ageing

To craft this Chassagne-Montrachet Village 2024, the estate favours minimal intervention in the cellar. Vinifications are conducted with great care to allow the terroir to fully express itself. The ageing is meticulously adapted so as to preserve the fruit and not mask its aromatic purity. True to his philosophy, the winemaker chooses not to fine or filter his wines.
