Domaine du Cellier aux Moines : Givry 1er cru "Clos du Cellier aux Moines - Les Dessus" 2023

This parcel selection of the best of the Clos du Cellier aux Moines is among the very best wines in the Côte Chalonnaise and can stand with the top wines from anywhere in the Côte d'Or. It boasts a fresh, bright mulberry and black cherry fruit character, with a burst of limestone minerality and a distinct hint of violets – 'less chocolate, more flowers', I wrote on the day. The texture is tannic and firm, but this will be a superb wine with moderate cellaring. Try it seven years after the harvest and drink it over the next 20.
