On the ridge, closer to the forest and therefore more sheltered, lies the Clos Pascal. Once the core of the Cistercian plantings of the Cellier aux Moines, this vineyard was completely forgotten by the land registry after phylloxera wiped it out, so that today the vineyard does not even enjoy premier cru status, although – if there were such a thing in Givry – these 2800 square meters would probably be more of a grand cru. But let's forget it. What do we care what's on the label! What's in the bottle, what's in the glass and ultimately what reaches the palate is all that matters to us. Right? Exactly, there was something else, the scent, which is also of the greatest interest and here in this case a symphony composed of floral notes, the scent of wild berries and a hint of orange peel. Brilliant, no, seductive this bouquet. Concentrated and firm, the wine flows onto the palate and shows a great structure, tannins as fine as the best silk, a delicate acidity that is wonderfully incorporated into the body of the wine. Everything comes together to create an impressive picture, a wine that, despite its power, ends up wonderfully elegant, silky and super juicy. This is the BEST Burgundy, which requires a little patience from us and will reward us handsomely for it.
