Domaine François Lumpp

François and Isabelle Lumpp own 9 hectares of Village and 1er Cru vineyards (6.5 hectares of Pinot and 1.5 hectares of Chardonnay) in Givry, in the North of the Côte Chalonnaise. The Domaine is famous for its Pinot but also for its whites which show that Givry is able to produce some great Chardonnays.

Location of Somaine Francois LumppThe Vineyards

Givry soils are from the Côte de Beaune strata package.  The vineyards' pebbly, yellowish to pink, sticky soil is developed from a combination of Givry marl and “red oolite” - these strata are from higher in the Jurassic geologic section than in any other involved in the Côte d'Or.

Isabelle and François own several Premier Cru vineyards, including Crausot, A Vigne Rouge and Clos du Cras for the Pinot and Petit Marole for the Chardonnay.

Wines available from Domaine François Lumpp

Givry AOC Pied de Clou 2009

The Pied de Clou vineyard is located next to the winery on the outskirts of Givry, on the very gentle lower slopes where the soils are deep "argilo-calcaire". This "entry level" Pinot Noir from the Domaine is a "vin de soif", a fresh, fruity and easy drinking classic Givry, which in a normal vintage is simply structured. But, this is from the fabulous 2009 vintage, so expect more complexity.

Givry AOC 1er cru A Vigne Rouge 2009

The A Vigne Rouge is "à mi-côteaux" - coming from half-way up the gentle slope of Givry where the clay/limestone soils have perfect drainage. This Pinot Noir demonstrates how Givry can be at its best, and challenges some of the best of the Côte de Nuits Premiers Crus. The 2009 is still very closed but has an amazing potential for ageing.

Givry 1er cru AOC Clos du Cras Long 2009

This is the Domaine's second "à mi-côteaux" site. This Premier Cru Pinot Noir has a classic velvety texture, very silky and with a good length on the palate.

Givry 1er cru AOC Crausot blanc 2009

The Crausot Premier Cru is at the top of the hill ("haut de côteaux") and is partly planted with Chardonnay. This Chardonnay is living proof that Givry can produce amazing chardonnay. Quite broad on the palate, but in a very defined style.

Givry 1er cru AOC Crausot Rouge 2009

This "haut de côteaux" vineyard always produces classic Pinot noir with crunchy red fruit. The wine is very opulent, and has a great length.
