Presentation

Dominique Giroud was born in 1971 into the fourth generation of a family of winegrowers. After an apprenticeship as a wine merchant, he completed his oenology training at the Changins School of Engineering in 1992 and went into partnership with his father, who had long experience of working in the vineyards, with Dominique Giroud more specifically in charge of the oenological and commercial aspects. At the time, father and son owned a hectare and a half of vines but had no production facilities. They decided to buy a winery in Chamoson, which they would keep for over ten years until the opening of the one in Sion in 2008.

These twenty years have been marked by steady growth in business, the fruit of hard work, a philosophy based on excellence and a keen commercial sense. In 2013, when the media campaign against him forced him to cease all activities under the name "Giroud Vins SA", Dominique Giroud was at the head of a company with around a hundred employees and over fifty hectares of vines.
