There’s much to commend this pretty, aromatic, complex red. It’s from one of Burgundy’s best known family producers, Drouhin, the little known Chalonnaise village of Givry, and the wonderfully expressive 2017 vintage. Delicate, silky and scented.

More information
Maison Joseph Drouhin was established 130 years ago and has gained a worldwide reputation for a style that puts elegance and finesse above richness of flavour. In charge today are Joseph’s four grandchildren, Fréderique, Véronique, Philippe and Laurent. Their portfolio extends from Chablis in the north to Givry in the Côte Chalonnaise. Organic and biodynamic viticulture minimise impact on the environment and produce superb quality fruit. The wines of Givry are known as “firm and tasty Pinot Noir, at least on a level with, say, a good Côte de Beaune Villages” (Hugh Johnson). The spectacular harvest of 2017 has given a red that’s brimming with pure fruit character and delicious balance. Ideal solo or with veal, quail or mushroom risotto.
