After studying viticulture in Beaune and undertaking several work placements in different estates in Burgundy, Eric Desvignes joined the family business in 1983. With a wealth of viticultural experience behind him and traditional know-how handed down by his father, Eric took over the Domaine in 1998 and today it extends over approximately ten hectares producing Givry Red and White, premier cru and village wines.
The combination of old vines, low yields and organic farming at the vineyard in Givry creates incredible aromatic complexity and a lush texture generally found only in wines with much greater price tags.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate absolutely raved about the new releases from this red-hot estate. Here’s what they had to say, “The young Gautier Desvignes continues his rapid ascent at this 11-hectare Givry estate, and I was delighted by these new releases. In the vineyards, he’s moving away from chemical products, cultivating the soil and using manure instead of synthetic fertilizers. In the cellar, he’s refining his barrel program, working with fûts from Rousseau, Taransaud and Rémond, as well as used Chassin barrels. Bottling is now carried out by a superior contractor, and wines that require it now see crossflow filtration rather than more aggressive alternatives. New glass bottles and thicker corks complete the picture. Elegant, sumptuous reds and bright, chiseled whites are the order of the day, and everything reviewed here comes warmly recommended.”

The 2019 Givry Rouge is already hard to resist, bursting with aromas of sweet berries and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, lively and charming, with melting tannins and juicy acids, it has turned out beautifully.

This is a fabulous price for a red burgundy that has the texture and depth of a wine with a much steeper price tag.

Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.

Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
