Givry Premier Cru La Grande Berge
Our exclusive red wine from Domaine Ragot is the Givry Premier Cru from the vineyard La Grande Berge. Hand-picked grapes from low-yielding Pinot Noir vines in a small vineyard above the village produce the ripe fruit which undergoes a temperature-controlled fermentation for 10-12 days. The wine is then matured for over 12 months in French oak barrels (from one to three years old), before bottling. Before being released to Partners the wine will also benefit from at least a further year in bottle.
This is a well-balanced wine with classic, Pinot Noir vegetal notes, a depth of fruit - strawberries, cherries and raspberries - hints of spice, oak and toastiness (from the barrels) and a most pleasing length on the palate. It is a delightful accompaniment for beef, steak or pork dishes and also goes well with hard English cheeses such as Cheddar, Cheshire and Red Leicester.
