Origin

A Côte Chalonnaise appellation, in the South of Burgundy. This 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

The hand-harvested Pinot Noir grapes are sorted and 100% destemmed. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration take place at controlled temperature in open vats for 18 days. We carry out regular punching down during the alcoholic fermentation. Aging is carried out in barrels for 9 months.
