Givry
 

 


Givry

Givry is a pretty village just outside of Chalon sur Saône city. There are many historic places of interests in the village of Givry itself.

Although, the wine from Givry is not one of the most famous in Burgundy, a new generation of winemakers is responsible for attractive wines.

Givry red wines are similar to those of Mercurey. Winemakers also produce a fine white wine in limited quantity.
