Givry 2011

Grape Variety : Pinot Noir

Soil : Mix of limestone and clay

Site : Givry is one of the most famous village in the heart of Côte chalonnaise in the Southern part of Burgundy

The Vintage 2011 : After a very cold winter and a demanding spring, the hot summer was regularly interrupted by rainy intervals which early September gave way to a bright and warm weather, that speeded up the maturation of the grapes. Harvest began in the last days of September under a bright sunshine.

Tasting : Deep ruby colour. Refreshing aromas of small red-berries (raspberry) mixed with an array of spices. Well-crafted and well-structured. Beautiful fruit combination. Well-integrated tannins. Refreshing and generous aftertaste.

Food pairing : Cooked pork meats, pâté, pie, grilled or roasted meat, fowls and "fromages à pâte pressée".
