About
Vincent Girardin began in Santenay in 1982 with a tiny estate of 2 hectares (5 acres) inherited from his parents.
Soon, he became well known and the demand was higher than the production. Having no money to enlarge the estate, Vincent decided to source in grapes in order to control all the winemaking process and to create his own style.
The négoce “Haute Couture” Vincent Girardin was established in 1994 to produce wines from grapes purchased to fellow producers. We were one of the first to create such an activity in Burgundy, négociant-vinificateur.
In 2001, we moved from Santenay to Meursault for a new modern winery. In 2002, Eric Germain, from the estate Henri Germain Père et Fils in Meursault, joined the Maison Vincent Girardin to take care of the vinification, bringing his skill and vision.
