Domaine de la Ferté : Givry 1er cru "Servoisine" 2022

The balance and richness of a Burgundy red wine

The estate

Located on the best terroirs in Givry, Domaine de la Ferté benefits from an exceptional vineyard. And for good reason: with a south-east exposure, south for the best plots, and clay-limestone soils, all the conditions are in place for this remarkable terroir to produce great wines. With its 6 hectares of vines, including 1 hectare of Premier Cru 'La Servoisine,' the estate promises wines that are as grandiose as they are exclusive. With its exceptional climats, Domaine de la Ferté is one of today's most sought-after estates.

The wine

Already mentioned in the monks' possessions as early as 1170 for the particularity of its climate, the Premier Cru "La Servoisine" offers a refined expression typical of its terroir of origin.

The vineyard

The Servoisine vines are located in the far north of the commune of Givry, close to the Premier Cru Clos du Cellier aux Moines. These vines are over 45 years old and cover a total area of 0.67 hectares. The Servoisine plot enjoys an ideal climate, thanks to its south-facing position. The soil is made up of 34% clay and almost 40% silt. This deep soil, enriched by a high percentage of active limestone, contributes to the exceptional quality of the grapes.

Winemaking and ageing

This Burgundy wine is the result of meticulous work both in the vineyard and in the cellar: to guarantee quality, the grapes are carefully harvested and sorted by hand. Once de-stemmed, the grapes are placed in vats for maceration and fermentation for around 15 days. Finally, the wine is aged in 228-litre Burgundy barrels.

Grape variety

Pinot Noir (100%)
