As the flagship wine of the estate, the Clos Salomon 1er Cru expresses the fruity and generous character of Pinot Noir. Twelve months of aging in oak barrels lend a spicy note to this elegant, supple, and complex cuvée.

About the estate:
Clos Salomon, a 7-hectare estate, has borne the name of its owners since the 14th century and is managed by their descendants, the du Gardin family. Ludovic du Gardin is the steward of this prestigious estate, which he cultivates using organic methods: the vines are meticulously tended without herbicides or insecticides, and the soil is plowed. The wines are aged for 12 months and offer good aging potential. In addition to Clos Salomon, with its distinct terroir, two Chardonnay cuvées are available: a Montagny Le-Clou and a Givry Premier Cru La-Grande-Berge. The estate is one of the few areas to have suffered frost damage in 2017, which resulted in more concentrated wines due to low yields.

About the estate:
The estate owes its name to the Salomon family, who acquired it in 1538 and passed it on, just under a century later, in 1632, to the Gardin de Séveirac family. Since 2016, it has been managed by Ludovic du Gardin. The vineyard consists of a single vineyard, a historic monopole in Givry Rouge Premier Cru, complemented by two Chardonnay plots: La Grande Berge, a Givry Premier Cru (0.40 hectares), and 2 hectares in Montagny. With low yields, hard work, and respect for the soil, every effort is made to bring out the best expression of the terroirs. We once again commend its consistency this year.
