Jéroboam Givry 1er Cru Rouge Clos du Cellier aux Moines 2019

Jéroboam of red wineGivry 1er Cru Clos du Cellier aux Moines 2019, Domaine du Cellier aux Moines

Architectural jewel of Burgundy wine, the Cellier aux Moines is one of the oldest wine estates in the region. Founded in 1130 by Cistercian monks in Givry, the Cellier and its vineyard enclosure are still preserved. During the revolution, the estate was requisitioned and sold to a family who kept it for two centuries, until the Pascal family acquired it in 2004. The Pascal family implemented an extensive restoration program for both the Cellier and the vineyard. A new winery was also established, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to vinify wines with precision while preserving the authenticity of their terroir. Particularly the iconic vines: 5 hectares of the famous Clos du Cellier aux Moines, a historic premier cru of Givry, as well as some prestigious plots in Puligny and Chassagne Montrachet. The estate covers 10 hectares, all cultivated biodynamically. Another distinctive feature is the absence of wine pumping thanks to this winery with total gravity flow on four levels. The motto serving the quality of the wines is "Simplex Natura" (Let Nature do its work).

This Jeroboam of Givry 1er Cru Clos du Cellier aux Moines 2019 from Cellier aux Moines comes from a historic plot in Givry identified for centuries by Cistercian monks as one of the jewels of Burgundian vineyards, beautifully exposed facing south, below the monks' cellar (built around 1130). The Cellier vines are farmed biodynamically and the grapes are partially destemmed then gently transferred to the vat almost intact to preserve all their aromatic and gustatory potential. The wine is aged in oak barrels for 18 months. This 2019 benefited from a great hot and sunny vintage, resulting in very healthy grapes concentrated in sugars and aromas. This is confirmed upon tasting: quality tannins, intense, velvety and supple structure. The finish lingers for long seconds. A wine that is spontaneously expressive and of great complexity, with notes of cherry, violet, raspberry coulis, and graphite. A great wine that will make its mark in Givry!
