The history of this estate of Savigny which belongs to one of the oldest families of Savigny-les-Beaune wine growers dates back to 1529. Since 1977, Jean-Jacques and Agnès Girard have been in charge of the estate whereas Vincent, one of the children starts to put his mark on the vinifications which while respecting their climates evolve subtly. The estate exploits 18 ha of vineyards mainly in Savigny but also in Pernand-Vergelesses, Aloxe-Corton, Volnay, Pommard and Beaune. Reasoned culture and tradition go together very well. The estate offers wines whose prices are very reasonable for their quality. Nearly twenty names including the Grand Cru Corton Charlemagne and red Corton Grand Cru "En Charlemagne". It is through the small rue de Cîteaux, where the monks formerly lived, which we can reach the historic residence of the estate. Passed the porch, you discover a beautiful square courtyard surrounded by various buildings housing the winery and the home cellar. It is at the cellar that tastings take place! Discover the wealth of these beautiful samples of the Climats de Bourgogne, red or white, Villages, 1ers Crus and Grands Crus, in a place with a great charm.
