Domaine Besson, Givry Les Grand Prétans 2023

Domaine Besson’s Givry Les Grand Prétans 2023 is an expressive red Burgundy from the Côte Chalonnaise, combining ripe fruit, herbal nuance and a generous, full-bodied structure. Its defining feature is the balance between powerful yet polished tannins and 12 months of oak maturation, including a measured 30% new oak. Givry has a long-standing reputation for producing characterful, food-friendly Burgundian reds with excellent value.

Tasting Notes
The wine presents a deep ruby-red colour. On the nose, aromas of fresh and ripe red fruit mingle with subtle herbal notes, creating an inviting and gently rustic Burgundian profile. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with generous fruit, underlying freshness and firm tannins that are powerful yet perfectly integrated. The oak adds depth and texture without overwhelming the fruit. Enjoyable in its youth, the wine should develop additional softness and complexity over the next several years when properly cellared.

Production
The fruit undergoes a period of cold maceration before fermentation, helping to extract colour, aroma and flavour from the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, followed by 12 months of maturation in oak barrels, 30% of which are new. This combination preserves the wine’s fruit character while adding structure, spice and further depth.

Food & Serving
A versatile partner for smoked ham, steak, veal and lighter meats such as roast chicken or turkey. Its structure also makes it a natural match for a selection of mature and semi-hard cheeses. Serve slightly cool, around 15–17°C. Decanting is not essential when young, but 30–60 minutes in a decanter can help the wine open up and soften its tannins.
