One of Burgundy's oldest surviving family estates, the Girard story began in 1529, when Jean Girard began cultivating grapes in Savigny-Les-Beaune. This wine begins fermentation in stainless steel before transfer into mainly old French oak barrels. It is bright, clear and crisp, with delicate aromas of gunflint and oak toast, and a palate of citrus and gentle honeysuckle flavour.
