The Domaine Desvignes is a family-owned estate in Givry, in the Côte Chalonnaise region of Burgundy. Gautier Desvignes cultivates his vines there using sustainable methods and vinifies with minimal intervention. En Chenèves 2024 is his Givry blanc de village, a fresh, crisp, and mineral-driven Chardonnay.
The Wine
En Chenèves is a 100% Chardonnay from a specific vineyard site located at the foot of the Givry slope, on clay-limestone soils that give the wine its minerality. Winemaking involves minimal intervention. The wine is aged in oak barrels, which impart a slight toasty note without masking the fruit.
Tasting Notes
The color is pale, brilliant gold. The nose evokes citrus and stone fruits, with a toasty touch. The palate is mineral, supported by a linear acidity and notes of lemon zest, with a lively and refreshing finish.
Serving and Food Pairings
Serve it chilled, but not ice-cold. It pairs well with roasted chicken with tarragon, grilled white fish, seafood, goat cheese, and risottos.
