Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domain 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.

About the wine:

Ripe, floral nose, chalky notes, fine woody breeding. The palate shows a low-yield harvest, good energy and freshness. A soberly oaked wine at an affordable price!

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.
