Desvignes Givry 1er “Clos Charlé” 2020

Tasting the 2020s William Kelley found “elegant, sumptuous reds,” and writes that Gautier’s “2020 portfolio is a strong follow-up to his lovely set of 2019s.” Kelley calls Desvignes one of a “new generation of quality-conscious producers” in the Côte Chalonnaise.

The Clos Charlé is the most generous of Gautier’s 1er crus. Kelley praised its “mingling aromas of cherries, berries and plums with hints of licorice, loamy soil and spices.” Like the village wine, it’s delicious already.
