The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Givry is a small wine-producing village located in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise region of Burgundy, France. The village is known for producing some of the finest Pinot Noir wines in the region, as well as a small amount of Chardonnay.

The history of winemaking in Givry dates back to the Roman era, when the area was first planted with vines. However, it wasn't until the Middle Ages that winemaking in the region really took off, with the establishment of several monasteries and the construction of the Château de Germolles, which served as the residence of the Dukes of Burgundy.

Today, Givry is home to around 60 winemakers, many of whom are small, family-run operations. The wines produced in Givry are known for their elegance and finesse, with a focus on purity of fruit and a delicate balance of acidity and tannins.

The style of production in Givry is traditional, with a focus on hand-harvesting and minimal intervention in the winemaking process. The grapes are typically fermented in open-top wooden vats, with a combination of whole-cluster and destemmed fruit. The wines are then aged in oak barrels for up to 18 months, depending on the vintage and the style of the wine.

The wines of Givry are classified under the Côte Chalonnaise appellation, which covers a total of 44 communes in the region. Within the appellation, there are several different terroirs that produce distinct styles of wine. In Givry, the soils are predominantly limestone and clay, which contribute to the minerality and structure of the wines.

The most common grape variety grown in Givry is Pinot Noir, which accounts for around 80% of the vineyard area. The wines produced from this grape are typically light to medium-bodied, with aromas of red fruit, spice, and earth. They are known for their silky tannins and bright acidity, which make them a perfect match for a wide range of foods.

In addition to Pinot Noir, Givry also produces a small amount of Chardonnay, which is used to make both still and sparkling wines. The Chardonnay wines of Givry are known for their crisp acidity and bright fruit flavors, with a focus on purity and freshness.

Overall, the wines of Givry are a testament to the rich history and tradition of winemaking in Burgundy. With their elegant style and focus on purity of fruit, they are a perfect representation of the terroir and the people who make them.
