Emmanuel Giboulot

Since the 1970s, my father Paul Giboulot, a pioneer in biological viticulture, went towards the biological work in the vineyard. He defended – before the trends – plowing, composting, the use of material respectful of the soil life and the biodiversity, and in the cellar a “soft” wine maturation to let every plot (climat) speak out without artifice.

I fell into biological agriculture since I was a “minot” (“kid” in burgundian dialect) and inspired by the values and good sense of this rustic heritage, I settled in 1985 and of course immediately chose a biological production. Indeed, what could be more natural?

In 1996, the whole wine estate was in biodynamic.

Today, I produce on 12 hectares including 5,30 hectares of Côte de Beaune white from three lieux-dits : La Grande Châtelaine, Les Pierres Blanches and La Combe d’Eve.
And of course, Saint-Romain and the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, Rully Premier cru “La Pucelle” and also, the youngest of the wine estate but just as great… in the lower hillsides, “Les Terres Burgondes”, an IGP replanted with pinot noir, pinot beurot and chardonnay.
