Domaine de la Ferte Givry 1er Cru 'Servoisine', 2023

FRIARWOOD SAYS. “The 2023 Domaine de la Ferté Givry 1er Cru ‘Servoisine’ is a poised, classically styled Côte Chalonnaise Pinot Noir – bright, finely etched and effortlessly drinkable, with the depth to cellar 8–10 years. A must-try for lovers of elegant, mineral-driven Burgundy.”. ABOUT THE WINE. Part of the esteemed Devillard family portfolio, Domaine de la Ferté farms historic parcels in Givry with meticulous, sustainable vineyard work. ‘Servoisine’ is a flagship premier cru on clay–limestone soils, renowned for giving Pinot Noir both finesse and structure. The 2023 vintage in Burgundy delivered beautifully ripe, healthy fruit with lively natural freshness – an inviting, transparent expression of site and season.. TASTING NOTES. Shimmering ruby colour. Perfumed aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, threaded with violet, a touch of white pepper and subtle oak spice. The palate is medium-bodied and silk-textured, carrying pure red-berry fruit over a chalky, mineral line. Bright acidity and fine, filigree tannins give precision and length, finishing long, fresh and refined.. FOOD PAIRING. Superb with roast chicken, duck breast with cherry, or grilled salmon. Also excellent alongside mushroom risotto, charcuterie and soft, creamy cheeses like Brie – dishes that echo the wine’s elegance and gentle savour.
