The Terroir: A Hidden Gem
The Saint-Aubin appellation is famed for its steep, sun-drenched slopes and rocky limestone soils. Domaine Philippe Girard, a family estate with roots dating back to 1529, meticulously farms these high-altitude parcels to preserve the natural acidity and “tension” that make Saint-Aubin so sought after by connoisseurs.

🍷 Domaine Philippe Girard – Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte de Beaune
Located in Savigny-lès-Beaune, at the northern gateway to the Côte de Beaune, Domaine Philippe Girard is a family estate deeply committed to producing wines that express purity, balance and terroir precision. More than a winery, the domaine represents a philosophy: quality above all, from vineyard to bottle.
The vineyards are planted on classic clay-limestone soils, the backbone of great Burgundy wines. These soils provide natural drainage while preserving enough moisture to allow slow, balanced ripening — essential for achieving concentration without excess.
Each parcel is managed individually to respect its microclimate, slope orientation and soil composition. This parcel-by-parcel approach ensures that every cuvée reflects its specific origin rather than a standardized house style.
Low yields are deliberately maintained to enhance aromatic intensity and structural depth, particularly for Pinot Noir, which thrives on precision and subtlety.
