Let's talk little, let's talk wine

Description of Domaine du Four Bassot

Domaine du Four Bassot is recognized in the Burgundy region for its commitment to sustainable winemaking practices and a minimalist approach to winemaking. This family estate makes a point of expressing the quintessence of each terroir through authentic and expressive wines, in particular its Givry vintages, famous for their finesse and complexity.

Description of the Cuvée Givry Rouge

The Cuvée Givry Rouge is made from Pinot Noir, from vineyards carefully selected for their limestone and clay soil, typical of the Givry appellation. This specific terroir gives the wine a solid structure and deep aromas. The wine is vinified in the traditional way and aged in oak barrels to enrich its aromatic palette while preserving the natural characteristics of the grape variety.

Aromas of the Cuvée

This Givry Rouge reveals intense aromas of black cherry and raspberry, intertwined with notes of violet and black pepper. The discreet use of oak brings touches of vanilla and toast which complete the aromatic profile without dominating the natural fruitiness.

Grape variety: Pinot Noir
Profile: This wine presents a beautiful roundness with ripe and velvety tannins, balanced by good acidity which ensures freshness and longevity on the palate. The finish is persistent, with an elegant complexity that invites a new tasting.
Aging Potential: Givry Rouge has favorable aging potential, allowing the aromas to develop and flourish over time. This wine can be kept to evolve towards greater complexity and smoothness.

Pairings with this Cuvée

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.
