DOMAINE GIRARD

Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard: Five Centuries of History in Burgundy

Nearly five hundred years ago, a man named Jean Girard planted his first vines in Savigny-lès-Beaune. This founding gesture became the beginning of a true lineage. Seven generations later, Jean-Jacques Girard took up the torch by creating his own estate and preserving the family spirit. In 2008, his son Vincent joined the adventure, bringing new energy to this beautiful Burgundian story. Today, the estate covers 21 hectares of carefully maintained vines. Around 150,000 bottles are produced each year, each reflecting a form of agriculture that respects both terroir and the environment. Since 2020, the domaine has been certified HVE3, proof of a deep and lasting commitment.

A Vineyard Rooted in Burgundian Excellence

Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard cultivates the emblematic grape varieties of the region: Aligoté, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Three varieties, three expressions, one shared standard of excellence. Its vineyard stretches across a string of Burgundy’s most renowned villages: • Savigny-lès-Beaune • Pernand-Vergelesses • Chorey-lès-Beaune • Aloxe-Corton • Beaune • Volnay • Pommard Like all Burgundy climats, these parcels were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on July 4, 2015. A symbolic but richly deserved recognition, as these lands tell a unique story of precision, patience and elegance.

Traditional know-how has never been abandoned at the estate: meticulous soil work, close observation of the vines, carefully managed harvests. But modernity also plays its part.
