Desvignes Givry “Champ la Dame” 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.

Gautier has managed the balance of tannin, acidity, fruit, and weight with impeccable precision in the 2024 Champ la Dame. Elegant, fresh, and vibrant, it opens with notes of violets and cassis before revealing an irresistible texture of silky, fine-grained tannins with mouthwatering tension and finesse. This is an exceptionally balanced village Givry that will be delicious from the start.
