About The Wine

The Cellier aux Moines of Givry is a unique group of historical buildings that were originally constructed by Cistercian monks in the 11th century. Today the estate is owned by former CEO of the mega luxury brand LVMH, Philippe Pascal. Pascal has completed a full renovation of the estate transforming it into a state-of-the-art facility while maintaining the historical esthetic of the original buildings.

The estate is equipped with a gravity-fed winery and became the first certified organic & biodynamic estate in Givry. Cellier also employs biodynamic practices and stopped using herbicides and pesticides in 2006. 

Pascal has brought in some elite talent to oversee the winemaking at Domaine du Cellier aux Moines. The immensely talented winemaker, Guillaume Marko, has worked at the best of the best in Burgundy. His resume includes Domaine de la Romanée Conti, an estate that has been producing the best Pinot Noir's in the world for a long time; and Arnoux-Lachaux, who is quickly becoming one of the best producers in the Cote de Nuits.

The Domaine du Cellier aux Moines consists primarily of the 5 hectares of the Clos du Cellier aux Moines, one of Givry’s historic Premier Crus, planted with Pinot Noir. The Pascal family selected with great care and acquired several small plots of white wine grapes, in order to offer a wider range of wines. In 2007 a plot in Mercurey was acquired called “Les Margotons”. In 2012, the Domaine took over three more Premier Cru plots in the Côte de Beaune, located in Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Puligny-Montrachet. In 2017, it expanded to Montagny Premier Cru.

Domaine du Cellier aux Moines is a great estate in the making. It won't be long before we start to talk about du Cellier aux Moines as one of the best in Burgundy.

Le Petit Cellier is the village-tier cuvée: hand-harvested Pinot Noir from younger parcels around the monastery, vinified in open-top wooden fermenters and aged in Burgundy pieces. The 2023 vintage delivered ripe, classically-built Burgundies — full of bright cherry fruit, lifted aromatics, and the chalky-mineral signature of Givry's limestone soils.

A 6-pack at this price is a serious entry into the small but real category of value Burgundy: estate-grown, biodynamic, 95 points, and made by a producer collectors are increasingly chasing.

Appearance

Bright ruby red with translucent garnet edges.

Aroma (Nose)

Red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and a whisper of forest floor and white pepper. Lifted and pure.

Palate

Medium-bodied with crackling natural acidity and silky, fine-grained tannins. Cherry and pomegranate fruit on the attack, dried herbs and chalky minerality through the mid-palate, and a long, savory finish that calls for another sip.

CRITIC REVIEWS

What the Critics Said

Floral and dark-fruited aromas of black cherries, potpourri, licorice, blood oranges and fresh plums. The palate is mineral-driven and tactile, with fine-grained tannins, focused acidity and a chalky mouthfeel. Flavors of graphite, terra cotta and pomegranates. This is a flashy pinot noir with lovely depth and approachability. Drink or hold. ~93 James Suckling
