The estate and the wine |
|
|
A standout estate in Givry with two stars from the RVF — France’s most respected wine magazine — Domaine François Lumpp has won over wine lovers with its finesse and elegance. These wines are impeccably crafted, aged with care, and deliver remarkable precision and structure, making them perfect for cellaring.
Vintage after vintage, the Lumpp family — now led by the new generation — continues to push for excellence, refining each cuvée with impressive precision. The use of oak barrels is particularly well-judged: 70% new barrels are used, but the integration is so seamless, it enhances the wine without overpowering it. For the Whites, the choice of 400-liter barrels helps maintain a lively, playful freshness.
These are among the finest wines from the Côte Chalonnaise, with beautifully defined aromas and flavors that speak of true craftsmanship. |

Grown on an 0.82-hectare south-facing plot of pure limestone, the 2023 Givry Premier Cru Crausot White beautifully captures the ripeness and clarity of its terroir. This Chardonnay strikes a perfect balance between freshness and maturity, weaving together mineral tension and expressive fruit aromas with precision and restraint. The aging in oak barrels adds a subtle creamy texture that rounds out the palate, while the finish stays crisp and invigorating. Already a pleasure to drink today, this is a wine that will also evolve beautifully over the coming years. |

The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed in whole bunches. After a cold settling period, fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks, with the wine transferred into barrels midway through. It is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, 20% of which are new, followed by an additional 4 months in stainless steel to preserve freshness and balance. A gentle fining and lenticular filtration complete the process, with bottling scheduled for January 6, 2025. |
