The Givry 1er Cru is among the very greatest values in all of Burgundy. The 2015 release is exceptionally elegant and inviting, showcasing the character of the vintage quite well with its open aromatics and full extraction. It's also a very elegant wine with a savory earth component, showing some young tannins but noticeably softer after a couple of hours. Textbook example of whole cluster aromatics and structure, for those on the hunt for such wines. The Du Gardin family has owned this monopole for several generations, now adhering to biodynamic farming practices and gentle, gravity-flow winemaking with minimal intervention. The results speak for themselves- this is a very transparent and highly expressive wine.

An earthy, jammy pinot. Reminds me of the J Swan zin from the early 2000s. Hear it’s better decanted and best aged, but I would drink this again in a heartbeat. Had with spicy sausage penne in a pesto cream sauce.

Leather on nose with raspberry. Light red purple color. Little tangy strawberry fruit/sweet tart on palate some meaty flavors . Nice balance not too acidic. Soft tannin long finish when you open it for a wile very good wine.
