Desvignes Givry 1er Blanc “Grandes Vignes” 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.

Les Grandes Vignes was Neal Martin’s highest-scoring wine from his inaugural visit to the domaine, and we agree that the 2024 is superb. The nose shows lemon curd and brioche with subtle stoniness behind, while the palate is long, tense, and beautifully concentrated. Easily matching the depth of a fine St-Aubin or village Chassagne, this is an outstanding white Burgundy.
