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
Vintage : 2022
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.
