The Girardin family has been in Burgundy since 1570. www.girardin-santenay.com
Valérie & Jacques (12th generation) & their son Justin (13th generation) head a 17 hectare domaine which goes from Santenay to Savigny les Beaune, passing through Chassagne Montachet and Pommard.
Their philosophy is simple – let nature express itself to the maximum, while watching over and respecting the land.
In old French 'bievaux' means 'beautiful valley'.
Historically this land was reputed to produce excellent white wines but, after the destruction of the vineyards by the Phylloxera pest, this hillside was left abandoned.
In the 1960s a number of vines were replanted and in view of the quality of the resulting wine, the entire hillside was replanted between 1970 and 1986.
The slope being steep, the planting was done in terraces.
So the wine becomes a living product, the fruit of an exceptional land and of an age-old expertise which is renewed and modernized with each generation.
