Burgundy, Domaine Piquet Girardin, Aoc Auxey-duresses, Blanc
Domaine Piquet Girardin was born from the merger of two estates, Anne-Marie Girardin's and Dominique Piguet's, both from families with deep winegrowing roots. Today, their son Damien takes over. The domaine has grown with each acquisition. Todya they cultivates 18 appellations on around 12 hectares of the finest Côte de Beaune vineyards, from Pommard to Maranges, via Meursault, Auxey-Duresses, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay.
Presentation
At the threshold of a valley that plunges into the Hautes-Côtes to the west of Meursault, the village of Auxey was a dependency of the Abbey of Cluny in the Middle Ages. Following on from Volnay, the Bourdon mountain faces south-east: this is the Pinot Noir terroir. The very fine soil of Mont Mélian, on the other side of the road, is ideal for Chardonnay.
