Get to know: Dom. Giraudon, Bourgogne Rouge Chitry

Tasting Note

A pretty and pure Burgundy from a family owned winery in Chitry-le-Fort, a small village, positioned 12km south west of Chablis. This is a young Pinot Noir offering simple but delicious flavour of fresh raspberries and cherry fruit, a little red liquorice . Light and smooth on the palate making this very easy to drink. It finishes with fresh acidity and chalky tannins.

Try this with paté, a selection of charcuterie or goats cheese.

Kate Says

“Prices for wines from Burgundy’s Côte d’Or continue to rise, so it was a joy to find this fresh and vibrant wine that delivers uncomplicated, honest flavour at a reasonable price. I’d enjoy this with platter of charcuterie.”
