"The 2015 Givry 1er Cru La Grande Berge is a lovely white Burgundy, offering a delicate nose of peach, apple and flowers that avoids any excess despite the warmth of the vintage. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, pure and precise, with lovely depth and tension and a good lift on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2018)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 15/20 (Very good wine)
Domain rated (2021 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
Precise, straight, taut, lemony and very mineral, its verticality characterizes it.
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.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (2018 guide) 15.5/20 (Good wine)
Domain rated (guide 2021) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the wine:
The ripe character of the Chardonnay is well balanced by a minerality that gives it a fresh, acidic texture, welcome in such a vintage. The whole retains its energy, it's a good Premier Cru level and will age very well.
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.
