Tasting notes
The 2017 Givry 1er Cru Clos du Cellier Aux Moines continues to show beautifully, bursting with aromas of sweet red berries, plums, rose petals and soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, lively and enveloping, with powdery tannins and a sapid finish, this is the first vintage in which some lots were declassified into a second wine, and that has clearly served this cuvée well.

HH&C report: ‘This historical Burgundy property (est. 1130) is one of our most exciting discoveries of recent years. ’ The borders of the original 5 ha (12 acres) Clos still exist 870 years on, lying on a south-facing, clay-limestone hillside, now classified as Givry Premier Cru. Recognising the potential of the hillside and the neglected Cellier buildings, the Pascal family purchased the property in 2004. 100% organic certified and with a state-of-the art, gravity-fed winery now in place, a high percentage of whole bunches are used in this wine, which aged for 16 months in oak (one-third new). Bright crimson. Really very open and appealing on the nose – pure, accessible, sweet red burgundy. Firm, fine and fruity with real conviction. This would make lovely Christmas drinking – especially in a magnum (if we are to be allowed to celebrate with large enough numbers …). (JR)
