The vines are mostly 40 year old bush vines from hidden corners of the Cape. No irrigation is used on the vineyards and very little crop control is needed due to the age of the vines naturally restricted yield. The climate is perfect for viticulture with the low rainfall in summer months, tempered by cool afternoon breezes and the cold winters allowing the vines to rest and to build up reserves. All grapes are picked by hand at optimal phenolic ripeness, followed by a fermentation using delestage in which the juice is oxygenated which brings a lower concentration of tannins and a higher concentration of esters, key compounds that contribute fruitiness. The result is a wine, in which red fruit dominates full off and which is full of juiciness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBright, expressive and gently savoury on the nose.

The marl and limestone rich kimmeridgian soils are very similar in composition to their famous neighbour and the vineyards are able to offer tight, mineral Chardonnay, Bourgogne Aligoté and Pinot Noir. In 1993 the village was awarded the appellation ‘Bourgogne Chitry’ for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The warming climate of recent years has improved the consistency of the wines and demand has soared both domestically and abroad. Aurélie and Thibault Giraudon (sister and brother) are the current generation in control at this leading domaine and are very focused on delivering fresh, elegant wines that are uniquely Chitry. There are thirty hectares in total with the main holdings being Bourgogne Chitry of both colours and an excellent Bourgogne Aligoté. They use exclusively stainless steel for ageing, only natural yeasts are used, and all picking is done by hand. As wines from the Côte d’Or surge in price, Chitry is the perfect solution for those looking for pretty, pure Burgundy at a sensible price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-6 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background hundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-stretch fusion-flex-content-wrap\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Domaine Giraudon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44285418307823,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/8853\/8024\/files\/367296AE-B41E-46BC-9EEE-BA8DD23533EE.jpg?v=1777630997"},{"product_id":"vincent-dureuil-janthial-rully-rouge-2021","title":"Vincent Dureuil-Janthial, Rully Rouge 2023","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVincent Dureuil is an amazing vigneron who, in the 25 years we have worked together, has transformed this domaine.

The wines hail from vineyards across the Santa Rita Hills AVA, planted on soil types ranging from sandy and clay loams to quartz and shale. The proximity of the Pacific Ocean (just 10km away) imparts a coolness and clarity to the wines. Most of the fruit is sourced from a long-term lease of the ‘Wenzlau’ vineyard. However, Racines also work with growers in ‘Sanford \u0026amp; Benedict’, ‘Bentrock’ and ‘La Rinconada’ as well as the ‘La Mesa’ vineyard, which comprises part of Domaine de la Côte’s prized estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root accordion_paragraphSection__v26kt MuiTypography-body1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Pinot Noirs consist of a Santa Rita Hills ‘Estate’ Pinot Noir, the Sainte Rose (made from a blend of ‘Sanford \u0026amp; Benedict’, ‘La Rinconada’, ‘La Encontada’ and ‘Domaine de la Cote’) and two single-vineyard wines, ‘Sanford \u0026amp; Benedict’, ‘La Rinconada’.

After his time abroad, Nicolas strongly believes in not vinifying and ageing in wood, choosing concrete instead to preserve the freshness and vitality. No old oak has been used since 2015.
