Description of the Cuvée Givry Rouge

The Cuvée Givry Rouge from Domaine Lemonde is made from Pinot Noir, from the clay-limestone soils of the Givry appellation. This wine represents a faithful expression of this noble grape variety, harvested at perfect maturity and vinified with care to extract color, richness and complexity. Aging in new and used oak barrels provides subtle woody notes that harmoniously complement the natural aromas of the fruit.

Aromas of the Cuvée

This Givry Rouge reveals a rich bouquet of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, enhanced with nuances of violet, licorice and a slight smokiness due to its time in barrel. The aromatic complexity is supported by an elegant tannin structure and a beautiful length on the palate.

Grape variety: Pinot Noir
Profile: The wine is well structured, with silky tannins that coat a well-integrated acidity, offering a perfect balance between strength and finesse. The texture is voluptuous, and the finish is persistent, highlighting the purity and intensity of the fruit.
Aging Potential: With impressive aging potential, this Givry Rouge can develop and become more complex in the cellar for several years, thus promising a rich and rewarding evolution for lovers of Burgundy wines.

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.
