Domaine Girauds property covers 19 ha. of Chateauneuf du Pape. One of them is with white varieties.
The domain is one of the several properties in Chateauneuf du Pape, improving the quality of the wines. The reason for that - like seen at other domains - a son and a daughter (Francois and Marie) has got an oenological education and have taken over from their father Pierre in 1998. Francois is mainly responsible for the fields and Marie for the vinification in the cellars. 

The parcels are wide spread in the appellation - no less than 64 different parcels.
Will probably be certified agriculture biologique from 2011.
