The star domain of the Givry appellation, the Joblot domain stands out with the pureness of its fruits: wines with fullness and charm, made by Juliette Joblot. The style of wines is based on elegance, fruitiness, fleshiness and texture. A quality that is accomplished through rigour and high standards: the density of plantation is very high (11,000 vine plants/ha), low yields, de-stemming, natural yeasts. The date of harvest is not decided through the levels of sugar, but through the acidic balance of the grapes, which avoids over maturing and gives the wine a fruity freshness. The same attention is given for all of the wines, whether they are village or premiers crus. When it comes to cellaring, although the proportion of new wood is quite high, it always produces good results.The domain counts nearly 14 hectares, most of which is planted with Pinot Noir. The range has eight wines, all of them Givry appellations.

Situated along the Côte Chalonnaise, this cuvée has inherited a historic Cru, Givry, once named Henri IV’s favourite wine. Domaine Jablot proudly upholds this heritage, and combines it with highly specialised oenological expertise. The young vines grow on steep, stony slopes with an east-facing exposure, providing plenty of sunshine for the fruit. The vines are debudded, green-harvested and hand-picked. Half the juices from this strict harvest will be matured in new barrels for a year, while the other half will be matured in older barrels, adding a touch of oak to the aromatic structure without destabilising the fruit flavours. The aromas reveal themselves on the nose in the form of raspberry, violet and black fruit notes. The tannins are silky on the palate, balancing the wine’s power with a slight freshness. Subtle spices infuse the long, intense finish.
