The Girardin family was based in santenay, In the Cote de Beaune, for three Centuries until Vincent Girardin, dynamic grower-turned-negociant moved from Santenay to large premises in Meursault a few years ago, and quality has moved up a gear with him. Girardin is now doing the opposite of many producers: reducing volume and raising standard.
For example, he now refuses to buy from growers who use insecticides or herbicides, part of his own move towards a biodynamic approach. The grapes for this wine are hand-harvested from vines averaging thirty-five years old.
