The Givry appellation offers exceptional value, with its 1er Cru vineyards showcasing the region’s potential for creating wines of both finesse and depth.

This wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir, the grape variety most synonymous with Burgundy. Givry 1er Cru En Choue is a medium-bodied red with a rich, expressive style that balances the delicate nature of Pinot Noir with the structure of a Premier Cru. The En Choue vineyard is renowned for producing wines with a harmonious blend of fruitiness and earthy complexity, often showcasing bright red berry notes alongside subtle spice and floral aromas.

The winemaking at Domaine Chofflet is driven by sustainability and traditional practices. The grapes undergo careful hand harvesting, and the wine is fermented with minimal intervention to preserve the natural character of the fruit. Aging takes place in oak barrels, adding complexity while respecting the purity of the Pinot Noir.

On the nose, the Domaine Chofflet Givry 1er Cru En Choue offers a bouquet of ripe red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, complemented by hints of rose petal and earthy undertones.
