"It
is a shame there are not more producers as dedicated and talented as
Jean Marc Joblot. Working in one of the lesser know appellations,
Givry, he continues to fashion rich, concentratedm cxhewy pure red
Burgundies that can be drunk young, yet that are ,more than capabvle of
lasting over a decade. They embarrass many Premier and Crand Crus from
the more prestigious Cote d'Or. Burgundy fanatics have been gobbling up
Joblot wines since he burst on the scene with the gorgeous 1985s. His
wine continue to demonstrate a progression in quality." Steve Tanzer,
International Wine Cellar
"Justifiably
recognized as one of the finest producers from Burgundy's Cote
Chalonnaise, the Joblot family consistently crafts Givrys that are as
good as many grand crus from the Cote d'Or. Since Joblot's work in the
vineyard always ensures moderate yields, his grapes achieve
physiological ripeness earlier than most, providing him with the luxury
of setting early harvest dates." The Wine Advocate
Givry Clos Cellier aux Moines
2002 $37.99
"Readers with patience may have experienced the grandeur of a well-aged bottle
from Jean-Marc Joblot. His 1990s, for example, at 14 years of age, are singing.
In my estimation, the 2002 Givry Clos du Cellier aux Moines will evolve
gloriously. Its deep, plummy black cherry scents lead to a medium-bodied
personality packed with candied dark fruits. Pure, satin-textured, and peppery,
this wine reveals loads of ripe tannin in its structure. Its lengthy finish
exhibits a trait I love, a parting kirsch-like kiss of sappy fruit. Anticipated
maturity: 2007-2016." 91-92 The Wine Advocate #153
2001
$32.99 available
"The 2001 Givry Cellier aux Moines sports a superb nose of black
cherries, freshly cut flowers, and blackberries. Medium-bodied, concentrated,
and displaying copious quantities of black fruits, it is a slightly broader,
deeper wine than the Servoisine yet is firmer and more tannic. Anticipated
maturity: 2006-2014." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

Givry Clos de la Servoisine
2002 $37.99
"Spicy oak scents are interspersed with black cherries and blackberries in the
nose of the 2002 Givry Clos de la Servoisine. Armed with gorgeous depth of
fruit, this rich, medium to full-bodied wine is plush, beautifully ripe, and
generously endowed with dark berries. Notes of vanilla can be detected in its
long, structured finish. Projected maturity: 2007-2015." 91-92 The Wine Advocate #153
2001
$32.99 available
"Plums, blackberries, and cassis can be found in the aromatic profile
of the 2001 Givry Clos de la Servoisine. Light to medium-bodied, it reveals
outstanding depth to its roasted black fruit-flavored core. Loads of ripe tannin
give this wine a firm, almost St.-Estephe-like structure. Projected maturity:
2005-2011." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
