The Excellence of Burgundy at Domaine du Cellier aux Moines

The Estate

Founded in its current form in 2004 by Philippe and Catherine Pascal, Domaine du Cellier aux Moines spans 12 hectares in Burgundy. While the historic planting of the vines by Cistercian monks dates back to the twelfth century, it is now the Pascal family, supported by technical director Guillaume Marko, who runs the estate today. Certified organic and biodynamic, this domaine stands out for its innovative gravity-flow winery and its commitment to producing pure wines that faithfully express their terroirs.

The Vineyard

Located within the Givry appellation, the plots dedicated to this wine come from the estate's youngest vines. To promote genetic diversity and ensure perfect adaptation to the limestone terroir of the Côte Chalonnaise, all of these vines were replanted using the demanding massale selection method.

Winemaking and Ageing

In crafting the 2024 Givry Village "Le Petit Cellier", the grapes are entirely destemmed to ensure a smooth texture and silky tannins. Fermentation is carried out gently to preserve the brightness of the fruit. The wine is then aged exclusively in used oak barrels, avoiding any excessive woody influence in order to maintain aromatic purity.

Grape Variety

100% Pinot Noir.
