MAISON PAGNOTTA

Chagny, Burgundy

Umberto Pagnotta established the domain in the 1970s in Rully, exclusively producing wines from 12 acres of vine within this appellation.

Today, the vineyards span over 82 acres and craft delightful wines across Bouzeron, Santenay, Mercurey, Givry, Maranges and regional appellations such as Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. Now situated in the heart of Chagny, on the border of Côte de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine Pagnotta was purchased by the Chanzy group located in Bouzeron in 2017. The Chanzy group's total holdings comprise 197 acres, covering over three districts.

Throughout the year, great attention is devoted to the vineyards to respect the environment and produce disease-free grapes that ripen perfectly at harvest time. The vinification process involves de-stemming, meticulous sorting, light pneumatic pressing, and temperature-controlled tanks to ensure optimum quality. The vineyards are now certified at High Environmental Value (HVE) level 3.

Givry is a village appellation located in the Côte de Chalonnaise (Saône-et-Loire) and is comprised of 38 Premiers Cru Climats.  Red and white wines grown within the defined area of this appellation. Producing communes: Givry, Dracy-le-Fort, Jambles.  In this appellation, the words Premier Cru and/or the name of the Climat of origin may be added to the name Givry for wines grown on Premier Cru plots.

This Côte Chalonnaise wines was the favorite of the French King Henri IV (1553-1610). It is produced in the communes of Givry (with its hamlets Poncey, Cortiambles and Russilly), Dracy-le-Fort, and Jambles – a corner of Paradise for wine-growing, surrounding what has been a fortified location since the Middle Ages. Its AOC dates from 1946. As Philippe Sollers wrote in his autobiography “Being born into a culture of French wine is a deeply fortifying and sobering experience that becomes a part of you. As a child, one does not even need to read Rabelais - his words live and speak all around”.
