Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Les Vergelesses Jean-Jacques Girard 2020

About the Producer Jean-Jacques Girard

The story begins some five centuries ago, when Jean Girard began cultivating his own vines in Savigny-Les-Beaune. The passion for wine having been passed down from one generation to the next, Jean-Jacques Girard eventually established his own vineyard to preserve and perpetuate the unique expertise inherited from his family. In 2008, his son Vincent joined him to nurture the domain’s fifteen hectares of vines. The Pinot Noir, Aligoté and Chardonnay vines spread across some of the region’s most beautiful communes, including Pernand-Vergelesses, Aloxe-Corton, Volnay, Pommard and many others. The viticulture methods employed are entirely based on a deep-rooted respect for the terroir and biodiversity, reconciling traditional, ancestral expertise with precise, modern technology. The domain’s parcels, classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2015, produce the great wines that have earned the region its reputation.
