Tasting notes
Colour: A lovely deep garnet red with purple highlights.
Nose: A fruity bouquet of raspberry and Morello cherry, combined with spicy and vanilla notes.
Palate: Full and fleshy on the palate, with flavours of black fruit (blackcurrant) and gingerbread. The tannins are nicely textured and mature. Long, tasty notes on the finish.
Food and wine pairing
Enjoy with pâtés, terrines, cold meats, braised meats or meats in sauce (braised veal, stewed poultry, roast Bresse poularde), cheeses such as Reblochon.
Serving suggestions

Ageing potential
Already pleasant in its youth, this red Burgundy will easily age for 7 years in good cellaring conditions.
Origins
A Côte Chalonnaise appellation. This Côte Chalonnaise cru was the favourite wine of the French King Henri IV (1553-1610).
It is produced in the communes of Givry (with its hamlets Poncey, Cortiambles and Russilly), Dracy-le-Fort, and Jambles – a corner of Paradise for wine-growing, surrounding what has been a fortified location since the Middle Ages. Its AOC dates from 1946.
The vineyard under this appellation extends over
237 hectares producing red Burgundies from Pinot Noir and 45 hectares of white (Chardonnay). 41.5% of the vineyard is classified as Premier Cru. Givry is mainly producing red wines (85%).Vinification and maturing
Harvested by hand. 100% sorting and destemming. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration take place at controlled temperature in open vats for 18 days. We punch down the cap regularly during alcoholic fermentation. The wine is aged in barrels for 9 months.
Vintage : 2022
The weather conditions were uncertain all the year long, but mild in the end throughout the season!
The harvest took place from 25 August to 16 September.
The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.
Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.
A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.
The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
