Danjean Berthoux Givry Meix Au Roi

Vintage: 2022
Description: The nose has intensity and is youthful with floral notes, red fruits and earthy tones. Silky smooth, long finish with a palate of plum, strawberries, and redcurrants. Very well made from an up and coming star of Burgundy. When Pascal Danjean assumed control of the family estate more than 20 years ago he decided he was going to begin bottling and stop selling the production to the local cooperative. In 1993 he bottled the estate's first vintage and the years since have seen him plant more of the estates holdings, which are primarily located in 1er Cru vineyards in the small village of Givry in Burgundy's CĂ´te Chalonnaise. The wines are never fined or filtered and Pascal eschews the use of new wood almost entirely, resulting in soft, supple wines that allow the terroir to shine. Pascal now exploits just over 7 hectares of vineyards in Givry including just under 1 hectare of Chardonnay. There is also.7 hectares of Mercurey in a vineyard called Les Chavances. For the Pinots, Pascal elects to destem and all fermentation is carried out in neutral vats. Depending on the cuvĂŠe, the wine is then either aged in stainless steel or transferred to barrel. The Bourgogne rouge and part of the Village wine is aged in Stainless while the 1er Crus are raised in mostly neutral oak. The Chardonnay is aged almost entirely in stainless steel with 10% â€" 15% in neutral oak.
