The village of Givry gives its name to one of the 5 appellations of the Côte Chalonnaise. Already recognized in the middle-ages and also appreciated by Henry IV, it wasn’t until 1946 that Givry was elevated to AOC status in recognition of the consistent quality of its wines. The reds represent 80% of the production. They are fruit-forward, well-structured with finesse. Warm, lively and giving, they are often compared to wines from Volnay.
Tasting note
The Givry 2008 has a light ruby colour. Its aromas of violet, peppermint and currants create a tantalising symphony. The tannins are rounded and the wine is elegant and refined.
