If there is one young winemaker, who has suddenly appeared on the scene in recent years and made a huge impression with his wines, it is Pierre-Vincent Girardin. His first vintage was 2017 and immediately the international wine press was praising him. We met this young winemaker in 2019 and tasted his second vintage, 2018, with him. The first meeting and the wines, but also the "winery" were impressive. In the meantime, Pierre-Vincent continues undisturbed to make beautiful wines. to make beautiful wines. He controls more and more vineyards in métayage and thus has at his disposal a large number of different appellations, in both the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. This ranges from a "normal" Gevrey-Chambertin to a Grand Cru like Mazis-Chambertin, but also in the Côte de Beaune he has a great diversity of vineyards at his disposal. The vineyards that he owns and manages in métayage are worked in accordance with organic farming rules. Website: www.pierregirardin.fr
Born in 1999 into the 13th generation of a winemaking family, Pierre-Virardin was able to bring his first vintage to market at the age of 20. No doubt it was an exciting moment for Pierre-Vincent, but with his talent and vision, and of course the help of his father, a great future seems almost certain. Pierre has chosen to raise his wines in 456-litre oak barrels instead of the traditional barriques, works organically and tries to let the terroir speak for itself with each cuvée.

In fact, the Burgundy wine region consists of six different areas. The most northerly is Chablis where only white wines are made on the unique chalk soils. The Côte de Nuits can be found between Dijon and Beaune, a sub-region where mainly red wines are made. Here you can find Grand Crus such as Vlos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Mazis-Chambertin. Between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saone lies the Côte de Beaune. A region where both white and red are made, but the white wines from villages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet have almost reached cult status. Chalonnais begins south of Chassagne-Montrachet, an area with villages such as Rully and Mercurey. Here wines are made with a wonderful price-quality ratio. The most famous white wines from the south in Burgundy, the Maconnais, bear names such as Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran and Mâcon. A little further south is the Beaujolais, also part of Burgundy. No pinot noir here, but gamay for the red wines
