En Primeur | Domaine Justin Girardin

The Girardin family and their wines embody the true values of a classic Burgundian domaine. The family history dates to 1570, and their vineyard holding of 17 hectares represents a sizeable estate in Burgundian terms, reflecting the family’s standing and position in the southern end of the Côte de Beaune. The young and extremely talented Justin, now in his early 30s, assumed total control in 2015 and his wines just get better and better with each year.  Justin’s policy is for minimum levels of intervention in the winery, all made possible by his meticulously attentive vineyard management techniques. He is a man of the soil, and describes himself as a winegrower, not a winemaker. Most of his time is spent in the vineyard, working with each of their parcels and constantly adjusting to what they see and feel on the vines.

  • Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2025

    High up on the southern boundary of the Santenay appellation, this is a relatively cool vineyard which produced exceptional wine in 2024. A crimson colour with very ripe berry character. Red cherry, cranberries, and a touch of fruits of the forest with a smoky edge. Suede like tannins are long lived and intertwine with sweet fruit on the finish.

  • JMO, October 2025, Score: 89-91

    Clear mid ruby, less dense than some. A little oak showing but the fruit can resist. Pure red fruit here, no great intensity, but all the fruit is in the right place and an attractive finish. Drink from 2028-2031
