Domaine Besson, Givry Cuvée Amélie 2023 White

Domaine Besson’s Givry Cuvée Amélie 2023 is a full-bodied, rounded white Burgundy with expressive fruit and a refined, creamy texture. Produced by a historic family estate in Givry, it combines the appellation’s elegant character with careful barrel ageing and extended lees contact.

Tasting Notes
The wine presents a bright, inviting appearance, followed by aromas of white-fleshed fruit and candied orange peel. On the palate, it is generous and rounded, with a supple texture, fresh fruit character and subtle richness from fermentation and ageing in oak. The 2023 vintage can be enjoyed now for its fruit-forward charm, while its structure and lees ageing should allow it to develop additional complexity over the next few years.

Production
The wine is made at Domaine Besson in Givry, Burgundy, where the estate’s vineyards cover approximately 10 hectares and express the individuality of their different terroirs. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in oak barrels, 30% of which are new. The wine undergoes bâtonnage through the end of malolactic fermentation, followed by 10 months of ageing on its lees, building texture, depth and a rounded mouthfeel.

Food & Serving
A versatile choice for food pairing, this Givry works particularly well with seafood, fish served with delicate sauces, shellfish and poultry or other light meats. It is also an excellent partner for a selection of cheeses. Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C. Decanting is not essential, although a brief period of aeration in the glass can help reveal its fruit and creamy oak nuances.

Producer
Founded in 1938, Domaine Besson is a family-owned estate based in Givry, Burgundy. Guillemette and Xavier Besson have been making wine since 1989, and their son Henri-Vital joined the domaine in 2017. The estate produces Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée wines from Burgundy’s classic Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varieties and is now responsible for around 10 hectares of vineyards. Its historic property includes two listed monuments, one dating from the 18th century, as well as a distinctive 17th-century cellar with beautiful barrel vaults.
