enveloping

Fragrant with pear and quince, Grande Berge offers ripe fruit. It's a Givry 1er cru with ripe fruit and substance. An interesting, elegant wine. Full-bodied and deep, this is a very good 1er cru for the appellation.

Expert opinion

Rated 16/20 (Vintage 2017) (Very good wine)

Domaine rated (2021 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

Clos Salomon, a 7-hectare monopole, bears the name of its owners since the 14th century, and is managed by their descendants, the du Gardin family. Ludovic du Gardin is the guardian of this prestigious clos, which he cultivates in an organic spirit, with carefully tended vines, no weedkillers or insecticides, and ploughed soils. The wines are matured for 12 months, offering good ageing potential. In addition to the clos-salomon with its clearly identified terroir, two cuvées are available in chardonnay, a montagny le-clou and a givry premier cru la-grande-berge. The estate is one of the few sectors to have suffered frost in 2017, which resulted in more concentrated wines due to low yields.

Domaine noté (guide 2021) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).

About the domain :

The estate owes its name to the Salomon family, who acquired it in 1538 and passed it on, just under a century later, in 1632, to the Gardin de Séveirac family. Since 2016, it has been managed by Ludovic du Gardin. The vineyard consists of a clos, a historic monopole in Givry red premier cru, plus two parcels of Chardonnay: La Grande Berge, premier cru de Givry (0.40 hectares) and 2 hectares in Montagny. Small yields, working with and respecting the soil, everything is done to get the best out of the terroirs. Once again this year, we salute his consistency.
