WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Besson Givry's manor epitomizes wine romance with centuries-old structures and an imposing 17th-century vaulted cellar boasting 6-meter-high ceilings. The estate's rich present unfolds just beyond its doors in the form of 30-year-old vines, the source of Domaine Besson Givry Les Haut Colombier. Thriving in deep, stony soil, this Pinot Noir mirrors its terroir. Aromas of spicy black cherry and earthy depth greet the nose, while the palate revels in full-bodied, almost meaty fruitiness. The tannins possess strength yet remain harmoniously integrated. A red Burgundy, intense and firmly rooted, captures the essence of the domaine's legacy.
