Descrizione

The Auxey-Duresses Blanc by Piguet Girardin is a white wine that stands out for its refinement and elegance, originating from the pristine lands of Burgundy in France. The blend is predominantly Chardonnay, which imparts a fresh and vibrant structure to this wine.

On the nose, the bouquet is generous with notes of white flowers, green apple, and a hint of toast, stemming from its partial maturation in French oak barrels. This process adds a subtle layer of complexity, showcasing a splendid integration of fruit and wood.

On the palate, the Auxey-Duresses Blanc by Piguet Girardin reveals a pleasantly tart freshness that perfectly balances with a creamy sensation and a lingering mineral finish. Its balanced structure makes it versatile for culinary pairings, ideal for accompanying fish dishes or poultry in creamy sauces.

With its distinctive character and refined expression of terroir, this wine is sure to impress connoisseurs and lovers of Burgundy white wines.

Winery history

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.

Production philosophy

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.
