Giraudon BOURGOGNE Chitry Rouge 2025

This lesser known village, just above Aloxe Corton, produces great value red Burgundy, particularly by Monsieur Cornu.

A fresh and appealing style of Pinot Grigio rosé from the Pavia zone of north-west Italy. The addition of early-harvested Pinot Noir grapes and gentle pressing give a delicate salmon pink colour and subtle red berry fruit.

The Bertrand Ambroise Bourgogne Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes 2022 shows a bright ruby colour with aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry and subtle floral notes underpinned by gentle spice and earthy hints. The palate is medium bodied with juicy red fruit at the core balanced by fresh acidity and fine, silky tannins. A touch of oak adds nuance without overpowering leading to a smooth, elegant finish with lingering red berry and spice tones. This is a supple yet structured Burgundy, approachable now but capable of a little short term cellaring.

This is Paul Cluver's entry level Pinot Noir, so named to replicate the village classification in Burgundy.
