The elegance and balance of a red wine from the Givry appellation

The estate
Founded in 1825 in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Faiveley is a historic figure of Burgundy. Now led by Erwan Faiveley, representing the seventh generation, the estate oversees a vast vineyard of around 120 to 127 hectares spread across the region's terroirs. Committed to a strong environmental approach, the estate has converted all of its land to organic farming, with official certification expected in 2025. Domaine Faiveley stands out for its constant pursuit of precision, revealing the authenticity of each plot.

The vineyard
The "Champ Lalot" Climat covers 3.98 hectares within the Givry appellation, in the Côte Chalonnaise. This terroir benefits from an ideal south-east exposure that captures the morning light. The vines, planted in 1975 and 1979, are 45 to 50 years old. They flourish on silty soils, low in clay, which have the particularity of cracking during the summer heat. This agronomic specificity encourages early ripening of the grapes and gives the wine a characteristic rusticity.

Vinification and ageing
For the production of Givry Village "Champ Lalot" 2023, the berries are harvested at optimal ripeness then meticulously hand-sorted. The estate's philosophy favours gentle extractions in order to preserve the freshness and delicate aromas of the fruit. The wine then benefits from a measured ageing in oak barrels, carefully selected to bring complexity without masking the natural expression of the terroir.

Grape variety
100% Pinot Noir
