Francois Lumpp, Vigne Rouge Givry 1er Cru 2022, Burgundy
2 in stock
This dynamic 9.5-hectare property is generally recognised as the finest in the village. François and Isabelle Lumpp founded the domaine in 1991, with no inherited vines, and have now been joined by their children, Pierre and Anne-Cécile. The vineyards are planted with the finest materials and very close spacing. Viticulture is fanatical and yields are kept very low. They work as organically as possible during the early part of the growing season and employ limited doses of conventional treatments later on, to avoid tractor usage and compaction of their soils. All the grapes are handpicked and there is a further, severe selection prior to vinification. The reds are 100% destemmed and vinified in open-top, stainless steel fermenters.
The reds are sublime, pure, poised and beautifully. A Vigne Rouge from a 2.5-hectare site with fine marl and limestone is deep and brooding.
