After a light settling, the wine is placed in French oak barrels of 500 liters (10% new barrels) for the two alcoholic and malolactic fermentations with natural yeasts for 11 months. One month before bottling, the wine from the different barrels is placed in a stainless steel tank for blending. The wine is finally fined and lightly filtered before bottling according to the lunar calendar ("fruit" day).

The history of Maison Vincent Girardin begins in 1980, when the 11th generation winemaker Vincent Girardin, part of a winemaking family in Santenay whose origins date back to the 17th century, decided to strike out on his own, and began producing wine from two hectares of vines that he had inherited from his parents. Although Vincent’s concentration has centered mainly on the lesser-known appellations of the Côte de Beaune, he has a stunning array of Premier and Grand cru wines from some of the most prestigious appellations in Burgundy. In doing so he respects the most important element of Burgundy, the individuality of the terroirs. All of the Girardin Grands Vins are made from vines managed according to sustainable agriculture principles. They also give preference to the vineyards they purchase grapes from, to be managed by the most natural vinification possible.
In 2012, Vincent Girardin sold his operation to a long-standing partner of the Maison, Mr. Nié, President of the Compagnie des Vins d’Autrefois in Beaune. Eric Germain, winemaker at the domaine since 2000, continues to uphold his philosophy of minimal intervention.
