Lot presentation

Givry Champ Pourot Ragot (Domaine) 2018

The wine

This cuvée is produced from fifty-year-old vines cultivated in one hectare of the domain's clay and silt soil. This white Givry has been vinified in foudre tuns, casks and vats. The wine is then matured in the same containers, with 25% new wood. The straw-yellow colour reveals floral, fruity aromas. The palate is particularly smooth, suiting this wine well for pairings with gourmet dishes.

About the Producer Ragot

The Ragot family already had a vineyard in Mercurey in 1760 and a century later Louis Ragot created his wine domaine in Givry. Since 2008, Nicolas Ragot has been in charge of the family domaine where he has worked since 2002. The vineyard extends over 9 hectares within the Givry appellation (6.5ha of Pinot Noir, 2 of Chardonnay and the rest in Aligoté), with a third of premier crus. This domaine produces a consistent range of wines with fine cuvées and provides good value for money. (It is regularly selected by the Revue du Vin de France's best reasonably priced wine Guide ).
