Givry Cellier aux Moines AC Premier Cru

Red Burgundy from the Côte Chalonnaise: The Givry Cellier aux Moines Premier Cru from Domaine Thénard is a dry Pinot Noir that scores with fine fruit and silky texture rather than power.

The Cellier aux Moines vineyard is one of the most historically significant plots in Givry and is classified as a Premier Cru. Domaine Thénard is one of the traditional names in the region. The 2022 vintage is balanced and expressive.

On the nose, ripe red berries, cherry, and raspberry meet spicy notes and a hint of undergrowth. On the palate, clear fruit lies over a silky texture; the tannins are well-integrated, and the freshness is preserved. Aging in wooden barrels gives the wine depth and structure without masking the fruit.

Recommendation: Serve at 14–16 °C. It pairs well with duck breast, fried veal fillet, mushroom dishes, or mature Époisses. It also cuts a fine figure solo at the table with friends.
