Clos des Mortières, a Givry Village Shaped by a Monopole Terroir

The Estate

Domaine de la Ferté, founded in 1995 by Bertrand Devillard, is now run by Amaury Devillard. Located in Burgundy, in the Givry appellation of the Côte Chalonnaise, this estate of approximately 6 hectares sits on a terroir whose winegrowing heritage dates back to the Cistercian abbey of La Ferté, founded in 1113. Specialising exclusively in Pinot Noir and certified High Environmental Value (Haute Valeur Environnementale), it belongs to the Domaines Devillard group, which brings together several renowned Burgundian estates.

The Vineyard

Clos des Mortières is a 1.71-hectare monopole located in the Givry appellation, at an altitude of between 240 and 280 metres, with east-south-east and south-south-east exposures. The vines, planted in 1960, 1993 and then 2016, have an average age of around 30 years. The soils are a mix of clay and silt on the upper part of the clos, and sand on the lower part, offering a diversity of soil types that enriches the wine's complexity.

Vinification and Ageing

The Givry Village "Clos des Mortières" 2025 is made from hand-harvested grapes that are then carefully sorted. Vinification takes place in open vats with regular pigeage (punching down) and native yeasts, followed by complete malolactic fermentation. Ageing takes place in 228-litre Burgundy barrels with a measured proportion of new oak, followed by a period in stainless steel tanks before bottling.
