"A rising star in Pouilly-Fuissé"

A very lovely Pouilly-Fuissé with a captivating nose of white flowers, citrus, and ginger. The palate is fresh and expressive, with subtle notes of nuts (hazelnut). The salty, mouthwatering finish invites you to keep tasting. Domaine Giroux is one of the rising stars of the Mâconnais region—one to watch closely!

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated estate (2022 guide): 2* Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

In 2009, Sébastien Giroux took over the family estate known as Yves Giroux & Fils, located halfway between Loché and Fuissé, after spending several years in the world of auto racing. As a member of the Artisans Vignerons association, he quickly earned the respectful admiration of his colleagues. The estate’s seven hectares are farmed organically—though not certified—with perfectionism and complete modesty. The wines are evolving to express greater personality and a deeper reflection of their terroir.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the estate:

Sébastien Giroux, brother of Olivier Giroux of Clos des Rocs, took over management of this six-hectare estate in 2009 after an internship with the Bret brothers. The grapes are harvested by hand, followed by gentle pressing and aging in barrels and tanks, tailored to each cuvée. The wines are consistently supple, pure, and charming.
