Origin

The Givry 1er Cru Grand Prétans is produced in the Côte Chalonnaise subregion of Burgundy, France. The vineyard is located near the village of Givry, known for its high-quality Premier Cru vineyards.

Variety

This wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, the traditional red grape variety of Burgundy.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested from the Grand Prétans Premier Cru vineyard. The winemaking process involves traditional Burgundy methods including destemming, fermentation in temperature-controlled vats, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance complexity and structure.
