Based in Givry, Domaine Desvignes was established in 1870 and has cellars dating back to the 17th century. Gautier Desvignes is the fifth generation of his family to run the domaine, having taken over in 2016. He represents a new generation of winemakers in Burgundy, who have honed their craft in other regions and countries, bringing new ideas and a focus on sustainability to their family domaines. Having previously worked in Oregon, Gautier is now establishing Domaine Desvignes as one of the leading producers in Givry. To quote William Kelley of Wine Advocate 'the young Gautier Desvignes continues his rapid ascent at this 11 hectare Givry estate… Elegant, sumptuous reds and bright, chiselled whites are the order of the day'.

'Champ La Dame' is a lieu-dit located to the southwest of Givry near the small hamlet of Poncey. Domaine Desvignes work with a 1.7-hectare parcel here with Pinot Noir vines up to 30 years of age planted on clay-limestone soils. The vineyards are farmed sustainably following 'lutte raisonnée' principles and all of the grapes are harvested by hand.

Upon arrival at the Domaine Desvignes winery, the hand harvested grapes were 100% destemmed and went through a rigorous selection process on the sorting table. The grapes underwent a cool maceration on the skins for a brief period before fermentation with gentle pump overs in stainless-steel. Following fermentation, the wine was aged for 12 months in used French oak fûts, before the final blend was assembled, left to marry for a further six months in stainless-steel tanks, and then bottled. 9,000 bottles produced in 2022.

A perfect match for herb-crusted lamb chops, where the wine's vibrant acidity and fine tannins enhance the richness of the meat while complementing the aromatic herbs. Also pairs beautifully with wild mushroom and truffle pasta, bringing out the wine's earthy undertones and delicate spice.
