Domaine du Clos Salomon - Givry 1er Cru Clos Salomon Monopole 2019
17/20
RVF
The flagship wine of the estate, the Clos Salomon Premier Cru expresses the fruity and generous character of Pinot Noir. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels, this elegant, supple, and complex cuvée has a spicy touch. Intense in color and aroma, this pure Pinot Noir seduces with its energy, fresh and velvety mouthfeel, and density. The jewel of the estate.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
The Clos Salomon, a 7-hectare monopoly, has borne the name of its owners since the 14th century and is managed by their descendants, the Gardin family. Ludovic du Gardin is the guardian of this prestigious vineyard, which he cultivates organically, with meticulously tended vines, no weedkillers or insecticides, and plowed soil. The wines are aged for 12 months and have good aging potential. In addition to Clos Salomon, with its well-defined 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 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 to the Gardin de Séveirac family a little less than a century later, in 1632. Since 2016, it has been managed by Ludovic du Gardin. The vineyard consists of a single vineyard, a historic monopoly in Givry red premier cru, complemented by two parcels of Chardonnay: La Grande Berge, premier cru of Givry (0.40 hectares) and 2 hectares in Montagny. With low yields, hard work, and respect for the soil, every effort is made to obtain the best expression of the terroirs. We salute its consistency once again this year.
