Desvignes Givry 1er “Clos du Vernoy” 2024

Gautier Desvignes proved himself an exceptional talent in the challenging 2024 vintage. We’ve long been fans of his wines, and it was gratifying to see Vinous’s Neal Martin heap praise on Gautier’s thoughtful winemaking, citing their commendable purity and fine tannins. These were among the most successful red Burgundies we tasted from the vintage, and we think they are wines any red Burgundy collector would be proud to serve at the table.

The Desvignes monopole, with vines dating back to 1960, Clos du Vernoy produces deep, woodsy wines that reward patience. The 2024 shows sweet strawberry and cherry fruit over a beautiful stony core, with an extremely fine texture and mouthwatering freshness that carries across the rich fruit. This is Gautier’s most ambitious, long-lived cuvée.
