Already well-known in the Middle-Ages, Givry today produces ten times more red wine than white. Here, the Pinot Noir grape imparts all its charm to the wine : not as firm or structured as Mercurey, Givry has a softness which has won many wine lovers around the world, besides being an excellent value as well. 

Maison Joseph DROUHIN buys grapes from various growers with whom they have had long standing relationships and intimate knowledge of their vineyards : being able to control the yield is an important factor for quality. 

The winemaking techniques remain traditional : fermentation in open wooden vats with punching down of the cap and pumping over of the juice. The wines age in barrels for 16 to 18 months and are fined with egg whites prior to bottling. 

Givry is a favourite of the brasserie or bistro style of restaurants. In fact, their cuisine goes well with this wine : roast chicken, steaks, stews, pork chops are the perfect accompaniments.
