Pierre-Vincent Girardin - New Kid On The Block
Son of famed negociant Vincent Girardin, Pierre-Vincent has continued the family’s fine pedigree, with this release – his first to reach Australian shores. Pierre-Vincent focuses on organically farmed fruit from individual lieux-dits, to make these incredibly charming reds and whites. This is most definitely a negociant to keep an eye on!
