The estate was born from the passion of Pierre and Mireille, from the meeting of two families. Pierre Giraud is the son of a line of winegrowers over 6 centuries old. A descendant of the Armenier family, he has always worked his vineyard with passion. The Buou family had owned the village distillery for several generations, Mireille has always worked in unison with her husband for the development of the vineyard. Today, she is in charge of all the administration of the estate. The story began in 1974 when Pierre and Mireille started to cultivate 4 hectares of vines as sharecropping.
Over a period of 12 years, the estate gradually expanded with the acquisition of land for rent and sharecropping.
They are involved in a work of plot selection, renovating their cellar to produce ever more elegant wines, in the respect of family traditions, however the great change appeared during the transition to organic farming in 2008.
Domaine Giraud takes pride in working each plot and each grape variety with the greatest respect for the terroir, for the alchemy that nature gives them, to express the richness of their grapes.
