Givry from Joseph Drouhin is a fine-grained, fruity Burgundy. It's lively with notes of gooseberry and blackcurrant on the nose and a long-lasting fragrance of spice.
The story goes that Givry was the favourite wine of French King Henry IV. The location is beautiful southern Burgundy, 10km from Chalon-sur-Saone. Limestone soils and an excellent south east and due south exposure. Plantation density is kept at 10,000 vinestocks/ha in order to extract as much as possible from the terroir and limit the production of each vine stock. Guyot pruning and purposefully low yields are maintained in order for the grapes to reveal every nuance.
