The roots of Clos du Cellier aux Moines (the vineyard) can be traced back 900+ years to the infamous Cistercian Monks that called Burgundy home. The Domaine that sits on the property now owns about 13 of the 32 total walled acres of the Clos located in the 1er Cru village of Givry right in the heart of the Cote Chalonnaise. That’s where this stunning Pinot comes from, just below the Domaine on a south-facing wind-swept limestone slope. Most of the vines are 40-50 years old with a small portion being replanted 15-20 years ago. Cellier Aux Moines is a practicing-organic operation with a gravity flow winery built into the hillside of an old limestone quarry in Givry. The grapes are all hand-harvested, cold-macerated in whole bunches with indigenous yeast fermentations and, thanks to the lack of mechanical pumps, the wines are agitated very little during the process leaving you with such a silky smooth juice… That’s the good stuff!
I’d describe this Givry just like that… Loads of fruit up front like raspberries, red cherries, pomegranate… The oak is very well integrated and in no way overpowers the wine. It just lends a touch of spice and mushroom character. It finishes with the most velvety tannins and just seems to linger forever…
