Description of the Cuvée Givry Blanc

The Cuvée Givry Blanc is made from Chardonnay, grown in the vineyards of Givry, where the limestone soils and favorable exposure contribute to the finesse and elegance of this wine. This white is vinified to highlight its freshness and aromatic potential, while benefiting from measured aging in oak barrels to enrich its complexity without masking its fruity character.

Aromas of the Cuvée

This Givry Blanc charms with its intense aromas of white-fleshed fruits, such as peach and pear, accompanied by floral nuances and a hint of chalky minerality. Oak aging brings a subtle touch of vanilla and toast, complementing the fruity notes with elegance.

Characteristics of the Cuvée

Grape variety: Chardonnay
Profile: The wine is distinguished by a beautiful acidity which perfectly balances the roundness provided by aging in oak. The texture is silky, and the finish is long and marked by a persistent freshness which invites another tasting.
Aging Potential: Although this Givry Blanc can be appreciated for its youth and liveliness, it also has good aging potential which will allow it to develop further complexity and depth over time.

Pairings with this Cuvée

Ideal as an aperitif, this Givry Blanc can also accompany seafood dishes, fish in sauce, or goat cheeses. Its structure and elegance make it a perfect companion for a variety of fine cuisines.

Where are we traveling?

Burgundy is a real adventure land for wine lovers! Supported by a predominantly continental climate, Burgundy wines draw their unique character from diverse influences — continental, Mediterranean and oceanic — which intertwine to create a symphony of incomparable flavors. It is this climatic fusion that allows each Burgundy Grand Cru to reveal aromas and flavors that some consider to be the best in the world. From north to south, each Burgundian wine region, from Chablis to Mâconnais, benefits from its own microclimate. In Chablis, winegrowers combat spring frosts by wrapping the vines in a protective cocoon of frozen water. On the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, the hills capture the sunlight, generating hot summers which fill the grapes with sunshine, while the Mâconnais benefits from an almost Mediterranean climate, less prone to frost and drier. This mix of climatic conditions, combined with a diverse geology with more than 400 different soil types, gives each Burgundy wine its own identity. Each bottle is a story of terroir, a story of land and climate, an invitation to explore the rich wine heritage of Burgundy.

The little history of the country

Burgundy

France, home of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne, is undoubtedly the most important wine producing country in the world. For centuries, it produced wine in greater quantities than any other country. Wine is ingrained in French culture at almost every level of society; it is the drink of the elite and the common people, and a key symbol of Roman Catholicism, the majority religion in France. The diversity of French wines is due, in large part, to the country's wide variety of climates.
