Domaine Piquet Girardin was born from the merger of two estates, Anne-Marie Girardin's and Dominique Piguet's, both from families with deep winegrowing roots. Today, their son Damien takes over.
The domaine has grown with each acquisition. Todya they cultivates 18 appellations on around 12 hectares of the finest Côte de Beaune vineyards, from Pommard to Maranges, via Meursault, Auxey-Duresses, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay.
