Givry Blanc, Les Plants Sont Fleuris 2021, Domaine de la Luolle

🇬🇧 🍇 Givry Blanc, Les Plants Sont Fleuris 2021 – Domaine de la Luolle ✨🌼

Floral, fresh and subtly creamy – a biodynamic Chardonnay that brings spring to your glass!
The Givry Blanc 2021 ‘Les Plants Sont Fleuris’ from Domaine de la Luolle is an ode to the blooming vineyard where this wine is born. Its name literally means ‘The plants are in bloom’ – a beautiful symbol of the estate’s natural, biodynamic approach. The result is an elegant, feminine Chardonnay full of finesse and vibrant energy.

🍋 Tasting Notes

In the glass, this Chardonnay shines with an intense golden reflection. The nose is refined and subtle, offering delicate notes of white flowers, a hint of almond, and a touch of vanilla from maturation in French oak.

On the palate, it is fresh, round and generous, but drier and leaner than the richer Champ Pourot 2020 from the same domaine. The texture is soft and elegant, with lively acidity providing tension and a refreshing character. A delicate interplay of floral softness and chalky minerality makes each sip elegant and invigorating.

🌱 Terroir & Winemaking

• Origin: Les Plants Sont Fleuris, a biodynamically farmed vineyard in Givry, Côte Chalonnaise.

🏰 About Domaine de la Luolle

Domaine de la Luolle is nestled in charming Moroges, surrounded by prestigious neighbours like Givry, Mercurey, Montagny and Bouzeron. Here, Sandrine (a former history teacher) and Olivier (a biochemist and engineer) have been making pure, biodynamic wines full of charm and vitality since 2010. After a three-year sailing trip around the world with their young children, they found their new calling in Burgundy: crafting wines with respect for nature and terroir.

They acquired the estate from Guy Chaumont, a pioneer of organic viticulture, whose vineyards have been chemical-free for over 50 years – and you can taste that purity in every sip. Their still wines and Crémants are among Burgundy’s best-kept secrets: juicy, pure and elegant, with true terroir expression.
