Vintage Report
Louis Latour Givry Rouge 2023 Côte Chalonnaise, France
Louis Latour Givry Rouge 2023 is a red Burgundy made from Pinot Noir from the Côte Chalonnaise. Givry is one of the 5 appellations in this part of Burgundy and is primarily known for red wines with fruit, structure, and finesse. This 2023 displays the round, juicy side of Pinot Noir, but also has enough tension due to the iron-rich clay-marl soil and the fresh, elegant style of Maison Louis Latour.
Vineyards and region
Givry is located in the Côte Chalonnaise, south of the Côte de Beaune.
• Location and origin: Givry is a village appellation within the Côte Chalonnaise. The appellation was already highly regarded in the Middle Ages and received official AOC status in 1946.
• Appellation style: Red wines account for about 80% of Givry's production. They are known for a fruity, well-structured style with finesse and are often compared to Volnay due to their softer, elegant character.
• Soil: The vines grow on iron-rich clay-marl. This soil gives Pinot Noir structure, depth, and a subtle earthy tension.
• Vineyard and harvest: The vines are on average 25 years old, and the yield is around 45 hl per hectare. The grapes are harvested by hand.
Grape composition
This red Burgundy is made entirely from Pinot Noir.
• 100% Pinot Noir – Givry: Pinot Noir gives this wine its cherry fruit, fine tannins, and elegant structure. In Givry, the grape takes on a slightly rounder and more expansive style, with fruity softness and enough grip for several years of bottle aging.
Vinification and aging
The vinification is classic for a fruit-rich, elegant red Burgundy.
• Fermentation: The wine undergoes traditional fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and completes full malolactic fermentation. This converts the fresh malic acid into softer lactic acid, making the wine feel rounder and smoother.
• Aging: The wine ages for 10–12 months in stainless steel tanks. This maintains the focus on pure fruit, freshness, and the expression of Givry's origin, without a noticeable oak influence.
• Aging potential: Louis Latour Givry Rouge 2023 can be stored for 3–5 years. With some bottle aging, the tannins soften, and the spicy and earthy notes further integrate with the cherry fruit.
Tasting notes and serving suggestions
Louis Latour Givry Rouge 2023 has a deep color with garnet red reflections. The aroma opens with sous-bois, nutmeg, cherry, and almond. The taste is full and round, with elegant tannins, crisp cherry, and a fresh finish.
• Serving temperature: Serve this Givry Rouge at 14–15 °C, to maintain a beautiful balance between the cherry fruit, fine tannins, and fresh structure.
• Dishes: Delicious with oeufs en meurette, duck breast, and Brillat-Savarin.
