Appellation Givry
The Givry AOC, producer of Henri IV's favourite wine
Located 12 kilometres from Chalon-sur-Saône, the Givry appellation covers 305 hectares, of which almost 150 are classified Premier Cru, spread over the communes of Givry, Dracy-le-Fort and Jambles.
The AOC was obtained in 1946, but vines have been in the region since the time of the Roman conquests. Remains of amphorae have been found in the village of Givry. It was then the religious of the region who took care of the maintenance and development of the vineyard. The winegrowers of the region even like to tell that Givry was the favourite wine of King Henry IV.
The appellation has 38 climats classified Premiers Crus, including Cellier aux Moines, Clos de Cras Long, Paradis, Grandes Vignes...These great wines are undoubtedly the fruit of a unique terroir. The AOC benefits from a temperate climate with a continental influence, characterised by hot summers and cold winters, and there is a lot of rain in May.
The pinot noir and chardonnay, grape varieties of the appellation, are grown on chalky soils mostly, and benefit from an east, or south orientation depending on the parcels.
Taste the wines of the AOC Givry
.The red Givry has a brilliant red coat, with purple highlights. The nose develops scents of red and black fruits, such as strawberry, blackberry and cherry, and flavours of violet and spices such as clove and liquorice. On the palate, this wine is very tannic in its youth, becoming rounder after a few years.
It can be enjoyed with charcuterie, pâtés and terrines, and also goes well with beef, roast poultry or cheeses such as Camembert and Reblochon.
The white AOC Givry has a light golden, or straw yellow, very limpid colour. The nose diffuses notes of honey, lemon and white flowers such as acacia and lime blossom, and with the years we find roasted dried fruit and hot croissant. The palate offers a dense, generous body, it is fresh and has a good length.
This white wine will perfectly accompany fish in sauce, white meats or iodized products such as oysters, cockles or sea urchins. With cheeses, it is best paired with cantal.
