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.

Tasting Notes: 100% Pinot Noir. Aromas of black and white pepper, red berries, and licorice. Refined and mineral, with medium tannins. Enjoy with Roast lamb, beef in sauce, and truffled dishes
Although vinified separately, the assemblage from the entire Clos du Cellier aux Moines transcends the sum of its parts, with a fragrant nose of plum and mulberry with hints of spice, smoke, and earth, and impressive grip and density on the palate. It is a blend of a small amount of the older clonal selection vines with different blocks of younger 'massale’ vines, all farmed separately. The intense attention to detail of this approach paid strong dividends in this difficult year. ~93 Decanter
Youthful nose of redcurrants and sour cherries with rooty, black tea and toasty nuances. Medium-bodied with restrained, velvety tannins, this expands at the finish. Needs some aeration to open up. Harvested with a yield of just eight hl/ha due to the spring frosts. Drink or hold. ~93 James Suckling
