Domaine Faiveley - Givry - Champ Lalot - Red - 2022

Wine:

The 2022 Red Givry Champ Lalot showcases a beautifully ripe Pinot Noir, with an elegant, refined nose featuring warm black fruit notes and a hint of oak that will soften over time. On the palate, its generous, fleshy texture is balanced by abundant yet well-judged fruit and fine tannins. With at least five years of aging potential, this is a wine that will develop beautifully with time.

Color:

An intense vermilion red.

Nose:

Delicate notes of ripe red fruit, complemented by oak tones that will soften with time.

Palate:

Precise and elegant, this Givry delivers a full-bodied profile with polished tannins and a harmonious balance of fruit and oak.

A benchmark for great Burgundy wines, Domaine Faiveley is one of the region’s most iconic names. Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the estate has been quietly evolving in recent years, fine-tuning its approach while drawing from an exceptional lineup of vineyards in some of Burgundy’s most prestigious terroirs.

With Jérôme Flous as technical director, Erwan Faiveley has gradually refined the estate’s style—favoring riper fruit, greater purity, and fresher expressions, while toning down the influence of oak.

This impressive transformation, recognized with a star in the French wine guide RVF, goes hand in hand with a full organic conversion, carefully implemented across the estate’s holdings, from the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise.
