Description

With a history that dates back to 1570, the Girardin family is one of the oldest and most respected wine producers in Burgundy.

He is passionate about preserving the unique character of each terroir and crafting wines that reflect the quality and diversity of Burgundy.

This wine is a fine example of his style: supple and elegant, with aromas of red berries and a smooth palate. It has a lovely structure and finesse, showing the charm of Pinot Noir from Savigny-les-Beaune. It is a versatile wine that can pair well with lamb, veal, duck, poached eggs, Brie or Camembert.
