Domaine Faiveley Givry Champ-Lalot Recolte du Domaine 2010

Domaine Faiveley, a 7 generation family owned winery makes  Givry Champ-Lalot Recolte du Domaine 2010 which is based in the village of Givry in the Chalonnaise in Burgundy. Givry is known for its red wines and they are often compared to those of Mercurey. 218 hectares  of Pinot Noir in total  planted on limestone soils, with Faiveley owning just under 40ha.
The grapes are pressed and vinified in Mercurey, then part maturation in oak barrels in their winery in Nuits-Saint-Georges for a period of 12-14 months.
The resulting wine has mainly red fruit and spice aromas with a vegetal typical Pinot edge, these transpose into flavours and there is restrained minerality, it is quite light bodied with a silky mouth feel, the tannins are low, ripe and elegant, the acidity is in step with the rest of the wine, refined and frames the fruit well. Overall a well made, fresh elegant wine with nervy acidity and lovely mouth feel - Thankyou.
This wine can be bought from Nicolas - at a cost of just a shade under £20. Enjoy.
