Get to know:Dom. Giraudon, Bourgogne Rouge Chitry

Tasting Note

A pretty and pure Burgundy from a family owned winery inChitry-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 pat,a selection of charcuterie or goats cheese.

Kate Says

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