About this Item
The wines of Givry have been heralded since the era of Henri IV, but ever since phylloxera hit the Côte Chalonnaise in the late 1800s, the appellation has been slow to recover. Domaine Joblot led the resurgence and is credited by many for putting Givry on the Burgundy map. Givry has a natural amphitheater that shelters the village from westerly winds, and the rocky, limestone soils give a chiseled minerality to the wines. Today, with the dynamic Juliette Joblot at the helm, the family's 13.5 hectares are farmed sustainably. With nine hectares of premier cru vineyards, including Clos de la Servoisine and Clos du Cellier aux Moines, some of the best parcels in the appellation are found in Joblot's cellar.

Critics Ratings
‘A discreet but not invisible application of wood frames the notably ripe yet fresh aromas of plum and dark cherry liqueur that display background hints of spice and earth. There is fine richness to the delicious, round and velvet-textured medium weight flavors that coat the palate on the lingering finish that displays only a touch of rusticity along with a touch of warmth. I like the volume and while this will need a year or two to better absorb the wood treatment, it's promising and worth your interest.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91/100 (Oct 2019)
