With rain during harvest, the 2013 was a difficult year in Burgundy in general and especially for the Domaine du Cellier aux Moines. Philippe Pascal reports that they discarded one-third of the crop because of rot. Nonetheless, the wine is charming, delivering a purity of red cherry-like fruitiness. Though less concentrated than previous vintages, the wine is clean and pure, offering proof that the severe selection paid off. It conveys the classic firmness of Givry without a trace of hardness or angularity.
