Tasting notes
The 2015 Givry 1er Cru A Vigne Rouge is drinking beautifully today, mingling aromas of sweet berries and plums with hints of licorice and spices. Medium to full-bodied, lively and charming, with powdery tannins and bright acids, it concludes with a long finish.

This too somehow manages to be both notably ripe yet cool, elegant and airy with its combination of earth, essence of red currant and discreet spice nuances. The vibrant and well-detailed flavors are not especially concentrated but I very much like the beautifully refined mouth feel as well as the lingering and complex finale. In sum this is most impressive for such young vines.
Cask sample. Tremendous fruit complexity on the nose: rosehip, cranberry, blackberry, raspberry – very generous and open-knit. The palate is reasonably firm – but very much ready to drink, and that youthful fruit is really delicious. Long on the finish, with some fennel and bitter herb character. A lovely depiction of a good vintage, and GV . (RH)
Pale crimson. Very lightly rustic note on the nose – by no means the most concentrated Pinot you will encounter – with some sandy tannins. Light luncheon wine? (JR)
