A delicuously complex and layered Givry with notes of kirsch, orange peel and redcurrant on the nose. Dark fruits and a well defined minerality is found on the palate, all contained in a silky and lacy package. This is a gorgeouldy pure-fruited Pinot Noir from one of Givry’s finest growers.

100% Pinot Noir from a 1.4 ha parcel of sustainably farmed 40+ year-old vines just behind the château. Aged in 228L barrel (30% new) for 12 months.

Domaine Xavier Besson is a small estate in the appellation of Givry that has been family owned for 4 generations. The vineyards are grown in clay soil, with a deep bedrock of limestone from vines that are 30 years old on average, with many vines above 50 years old. The combination of old vines, conscientious vineyard work, and low yields, all contribute to the balanced wines that Besson produces. Farming from superb vineyards like ‘Les Grands Prétans,’ Besson always provides superb Burgundy value: concentrated and densely expressive with brilliant perfume, heady fruit, and a velvety mouthfeel.
