Givry Premier Cru AOC
Loading...
Sublime Givry from a family cellar and recently revived Premier Cru. Clos Jus was abandoned after phylloxera struck 130 years ago but pioneer Denis Valdenaire recognised its potential. Rippling ripe fruit and complexity ensure you’ll be glad he did.

The Wine
Domaine Chofflet Valdenaire’s Clos Jus is a thrilling find for any Burgundy lover. Why? Because its charming balance of fruit, complexity and undeniable quality isn’t accompanied by an unreasonable price tag. But that may not be the case for long – they’re tipped as one of Givry’s leading cellars by none other than Decanter magazine. That’s down to Denis Valdenaire’s painstaking approach in both the vineyard and the cellar. He has practised sustainable agriculture for over 20 years, and prunes severely to restrict yields, even in Clos Jus where the vines produce a miserly harvest of concentrated fruit. Grapes are gently pressed and aged for 14 months in casks of varying ages so oak doesn’t dominate. Ideal with duck or wild mushroom risotto.

This wine is so expressive, rich and concentrated for what is a relatively modestly priced Pinot
