Givry AC

Wine information: The village of Givry gives its name to one of the 5 appellations of the Côte Chalonnaise. Already recognized in the middle-ages and also appreciated by Henry IV, it wasn’t until 1946 that Givry was elevated to “AOC” status in recognition of the consistent quality of its wines. The reds represent 80% of the appellation. They are fruit-forward, well-structured with finesse. Warm, lively and giving, they are often compared to wines from Volnay. Lousi Latour Givry Rouge is intense ruby red in colour with aromas of ripe cherries, earthiness, nutmeg and liquorice all coming together to give it nice complexity. A full-bodied wine with structured tannins. The Givry rouge from Maison Louis Latour is a superb example of it's type, as Robert Parker puts it "the best negociant offering Givry is Maison Louis Latour, whose wine exhibits an attractive earthy, spicy character". It has a rich fruit driven bouquet with notes of wild cherry and raspberry that ends on a smooth fruity note.
