The Givry appellation is located in Burgundy, in the Côte Chalonnaise sub-region, south of the Côte de Beaune. It extends mainly over the commune of Givry, as well as Dracy-le-Fort and Jambles. The Givry vineyards are nestled in an undulating landscape, surrounded by woods and meadows, offering excellent conditions for vine-growing. Côte Chalonnaise wines were a favorite of King Henri IV of France (1553-1610). 

This appellation includes 38 Premiers Crus Climats within the Givry AOC classified as Premier Cru vineyards. Much of the vineyard is planted on brown soils derived from the decomposition of Jurassic Oxfordian limestone and clay. Most of the vines face east-south-east or due south at altitudes of between 240 and 280 meters, with some slightly higher. Red wines account for 80% of the appellation, produced on around 240 acres of red Premier Cru (and only 24 acres of white Premier Cru).

Givry is celebrated for producing elegant and refined red and white wines. Givry is above all a red wine made from Pinot Noir grapes. It has a brilliant crimson or carmine color with purplish highlights. Its bouquet is generally reminiscent of violets, strawberries and blackberries, with hints of licorice, game and sometimes spices. Givry blanc is made from the Chardonnay grape variety, and has a bright, limpid pale gold color. It offers aromas of honey or lemon with hints of lime blossom and lily. 

Among the most renowned producers of the Givry appellation are: Maison Joseph Drouhin, Maison Louis Jadot, Domaine Joblot, Domaine Besson, Domaine Thenard, Domaine Faiveley, and Domaine Vincent Lumpp.
