A terroir-driven wine with soul and character to spare, this Pinot Noir is chock full of minerally red fruit and deep, earthy aromas. Wonderful to open with your next rabbit or roast chicken dish.

The Chofflet family has tended their 12 hectares in the Givry appellation with love and dedication for five generations. They focus on terroir-oriented wines that put the emphasis on the fruit they grow.

The great wines of Burgundy are uniquely complex, compelling and at times memorizing. Above all they are evocative, transformative but like all creatures, temperamental and anything but dependable. Two grapes dominate this agricultural masterpiece, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Both grapes achieve their greatest elegance when planted in cooler climates, to which Burgundy is the coolest and most Northern climate of all the major regions famous for red wines. When winemakers talk about Burgundy, they generally speak of terroir, the compilation of the vineyard's soil, slope, orientation, nuance of climate, etc. This concept of terroir is what makes wines produced from grapes even in the same village or vineyard strikingly different. Burgundy is a place of legend, awe and adventure, a place that wine lovers call home.
