Winery Domaine Piguet-Girardin

The estate was born from the merger of the Girardin and Piguet families, when Anne‑Marie Girardin and Dominique Piguet merged their vineyards and resources in 1985. Initially the combined holdings covered about 6 hectares; in the 1990s and 2000s the property expanded through acquisitions nearby. Since 2016 their son Damien has gradually taken over management, introducing updates while remaining true to the family tradition.

The estate favors a reasoned approach to viticulture, with reduced phytosanitary treatments, hand-harvesting and double sorting to select the grapes. In the cellar, techniques are used to preserve the finesse of the fruit: gentle pressing for Chardonnay, cold maceration and controlled extraction for Pinot Noir, and fermentations and aging in wood, with the percentage of new barriques varying according to the climate.

Located in Auxey‑Duresses, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. The domaine owns parcels in well‑known villages of the area such as Pommard, Meursault, Auxey‑Duresses, Puligny‑Montrachet, Chassagne‑Montrachet, Santenay and Maranges; soils include calcareous‑clayey types.
