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 : 2023
The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.
The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.
The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.
In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
