Domaine Danjean-Berthoux

Wines form the village of Givry frequently offer an excellent price/quality ratio, and this example from family domaine Danjean-Berthoux is a great choice for those looking to discover red Burgundy. Pascal Danjean’s Premier Cru, Cuvée La Chaume offers a nose of charming red and black fruits accompanied by a characterful hint of spice courtesy of ageing in 20 percent new oak. The palate is surprisingly weighty with a core of sweet berry fruits, a lick of refreshing acidity and succulent tannins. Drink 2018-2021.

From a site with thin pebbly soils, this is the domaine’s most mineral, angular cuvée characterised by bright red and black fruit aromas and crunchy acidity. About 10% of the final blend is aged in new oak, which tends to mark the wine in its youth, but whose influence is now perfectly integrated. A cracking example of what top growers are achieving in the up-and-coming Côte Chalonnaise. Drink now to 2023
