Clear ruby red, with blackberry, wild strawberry and cherry aromas, complimented by subtle spice, bread and oak nuances. This is somewhat richer and sweeter of fruit than the Clos Jus, with dark berry and cherry flavours, some spiciness and chocolatey intensity. The tannins are grippy, but fine, with a huge core of fruit that will blossom over the next year or two. This is a superb wine, and as good as it gets in red 1er Cru Givry.

Aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, cinnamon and clove, with a lick of vanilla. Light-to-medium bodied, the palate has bags of fruit flavours, with a soft spiciness and a delightful streak of minerally acidity. Time in the glass, tobacco and sous bois notes develop, and the fruit gains more flesh. Even on the day after opening, it continues to evolve - a sure sign of a wine built to last. A really lovely wine, from a great vintage - and a great introduction to fine 1er Cru Burgundy.
