 Tasted by trifreddy on 4/24/2024 & rated 93 points: Belle couleur pourpre translucide. Nez explosif sur les fruits rouges, épices et terre humide.Tannins fins et doux, bonne acidité et belle finale. Excellent! (447 views)
 Tasted by Oli_Vilmo on 4/1/2024 & rated 90 points: The best Givry you can find, structured and complex while still very fruity (620 views)
 Tasted by benjamin96 on 2/15/2024 & rated 91 points: Un beau pinot qui commence son plateau. Fruite tres pure, croquant. Une belle bourgogne qui est representative de son millesime et su producteur. (866 views)
 Tasted by BurgundySimon on 2/14/2024 & rated 91 points: On the nose: Strawberry, raspberry and some earthy notes.

On the Palate: Raspberry, strawberry, cherry, cedar and earthy notes. High acidity, soft tannins and medium long finish.

2017 an early drinking vintage which maybe lacks a bit of depth compared to other vintages. But for drinking, super enjoyable we finished the bottle quite quick. Primary fruit takes the lead here, backed up by nice fresh acidity. The earthy pinot notes are there but take a bit of a backseat. Good Price-quality as well. (779 views)
 Tasted by Morrisson on 1/20/2024 & rated 91 points: Beau bourgogne encore jeune. Il s’est bonifié après un léger passage en carafe. Les fruits sont encore biens croquants. Excellent rapport qualité/prix. (856 views)
 Tasted by fran.kie on 1/13/2024 & rated 92 points: Had caught a few 2017s in a closed, ungiving, spot but this was great. A bit of (not unpleasant) reduction at first, it opened up quickly (in 30 minutes) and showed a nice black raspberry quality. Just a beautiful deep red fruit and some nice christmas spice. Still somewhat primary but so well-rounded, nice balance in every way, not super complex (yet?) but delicious. Was still very good the next day. (813 views)
 Tasted by Eudemis on 11/26/2023: 13% alcohol. Very long cork of excellent quality. The colour is of medium depth and very youthful.
Captivating red fruited nose with just a hint of coulis to add complexity. The mouth is just as good with great purity no perception of oak; the acidity is marked but not excessive, and it provides grip in the absence of tannins.
A modern Burgundy in the best sense, and a great success. (893 views)
 Tasted by Everything Ahead on 11/12/2023 & rated 91 points: Really nice pinot with something "electric" about the interplay of acidity, laser-focused darker red fruit, and minerality. Not super deep or complex, but a very enjoyable wine nonetheless, and a producer to watch out for. (991 views)
 Tasted by Eudemis on 6/4/2023: 13% alcohol. The cork is long but maybe not of top quality; no penetration anyway. Medium colour with just a hint of translucence.
High class nose with a magnificent basket of wild berries. Even better in the mouth with remarkable completeness and a feeling of plenitude; excellent length with something approximating sweetness without sugar in the finish. All the more remarkable as the vintage does not have a great reputation.
Frankly, this kind of wine shakes your belief in the traditional Burgundy hierarchy; better than most red Côte de Beaune at any level, not to mention the often overrated Nuits. One of the most striking red Burgundies that I ever had, and a superlative match for roast duck. (1342 views)
 Tasted by Burgundy Al on 1/23/2023 & rated 90 points: Tasting 2017 Red Burgundy (Birch Road Cellar - Chicago IL): Red cherry with traces of roasted meat and woodsy spice. Good weight, very good balance. Drinking very well now, good for another decade+.. (2726 views)
 Tasted by Eudemis on 1/17/2023: 13% alcohol. Long cork of good quality. The colour is dark for Pinot but not particularly deep.
The nose is very pretty and quite intense with a cocktail of wild red berries, including redcurrant; a hint of darker fruit at the back end adds complexity. I could sniff this all day. The mouth is similarly balanced with great purity of fruit and a silky feel; very good length.
Probably capable of ageing, but irresistible in its youthful glory.

I bought this wine around 30€, and no quarrel with that, but it looks like it is now heading to 40€, getting outside of my price range. A pity as Lumpp is one of a handful of producers who showed that Givry is capable of so much better than the anaemic over acidic brew of yesteryear. (1560 views)
 Tasted by gbejjani on 10/16/2022 & rated 91 points: More complex than the 2015, a bit more sophisticated. Which meant a bit less enjoyable at this point in time. But all the elements are here for a great evolution. For now a bit of reduction, lots of acidity, tantalizing hints of sharp red fruits. Needs time and air! Part of a pair of videos with Guigal

 Tasted by Eudemis on 3/27/2022: 13% alcohol. The cork is long but riddled with defects; however it shows little wine penetration. Light ruby colour with some thinning at the edge.
Enchanting nose of young Burgundy with a mixture of red berries, mostly fresh but some infused, and the promising signs of tertiary aromas (leather). More primary in the mouth with searing acidity complementing the bright fruit; very balanced in its own way.
A joy to drink now, with more layers to be revealed in years to come.
A repeat purchase, but prices are beginning to enter the unreasonable zone. (2031 views)
 Tasted by wgmccallum on 2/3/2022 & rated 92 points: From memory, a beautifully balanced fresh pinot, fragrant with red fruit and flowers. (1974 views)
 Tasted by JonBarnes1 on 1/14/2022: Southern Rhone fan experimenting with Burgundies. To my palate this was medium density for a pinot; just the right amount of fruit; serious but still fresh; I detect some oak especially on the nose but it’s tactful; all around enjoyed this and although I may not buy more to save I would rate this highly among the ones I’ve tried (definitely tops among the villages south of the Côte d’Or, referring to reds only) and would accept enthusiastically a glass in future. (1889 views)
 Tasted by EvoPeteMTL on 12/27/2021 & rated 90 points: Still very young. Very reductive. I had to wait at least 1 hour to let it sit in a decanter before it started to taste like a pinot. Much primary on red fruits. Would wait a few years to open another one. (2156 views)
 Tasted by Eudemis on 11/15/2021: 13% alcohol. The cork is very long and of excellent quality, with no wine penetration. Medium colour, just slightly translucent.
Lovely exuberant nose of raspberry and wild cherry; very pure with no perceived oak. The mouth is equally striking with vibrant red fruit; there is a hint of a candied quality in the finish (without any sweet sensation). Perfectly judged acidity. Clearly they had a very good juice that year.
Hard to know how this will age, but irresistible in its youth.
Would the same style of winemaking be as successful in a riper year, I wonder.
A repeat purchase. (2113 views)
 Tasted by BAJRiley on 10/29/2021 & rated 91 points: Appearance: Medium depth of colour. Bright crimson, red cherry, some purple.

Nose: lots of red fruits and violets. Very perfumed. Hint of blackberry and cloves. Not too much oak.

Palate: medium bodied. Bright and lively but not too structured. Has a nice richness and texture. Good length. Still too young, too much fruit for now. Needs time for savoury character to develop. (1518 views)
 Tasted by Derek Darth Taster on 10/14/2021 & rated 92 points: Wine swap at ES BK. Drank in Grassl Cru. Tasted blind.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, purplish ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of fresh rd cheries, raspberries, red apples, bits of red floral spice, and youthful reduction that takes some time to blow off. Youthful.
On the palate, dry, juicy high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of fresh crunchy ripe red cherries, raspberries, red apples, sweet youthful oak spices. Long juicy finish.
Very good quality. Serious Cote Chalonnaise red, just very primary at this point. Needs 4-5 years more for some development. (1790 views)
 Tasted by woodpecka on 7/30/2021 & rated 90 points: Bonne acidité, ca pinotte en masse. (1770 views)
 Tasted by Wardyn on 6/6/2021 & rated 92 points: Fresh, highly tone bouquet of red cherries and blueberries, subtle floral spices and violets. Good intensity of high tone, juicy red cherry fruits of medium bodied, vibrant bright acidity, minerals, stones and earth. Good length and at a good youthful drinking point but will continue to hold. (1738 views)
 Tasted by AWBryce on 4/17/2021: funky, soft berry, olive brine, oak?; palate is a bit oxidized, some extraction, very earthy, soft tannin, med- acid (1041 views)
 Tasted by rc@ughey on 2/23/2021 & rated 91 points: So joyous. Lumpp has become one of my favorite producers and this edifies my view. This has the exuberance of a high-end Cru Beaujolais coupled with the darker tones of the Cote de Nuits. This is still a touch compact and stern but it's super delicious. It will improve. (2356 views)
 Tasted by Wardyn on 11/14/2020 & rated 90 points: Sour dark plums, vanilla oak, toast and sweet spices on the nose Creamy texture, spicy, vanilla oak, medium acidity, slate, earth and red berries. At the moment the oak is pretty much on the foreground. Slightly disjointed, it certainly could use some age for better integration. (2099 views)
 Tasted by Orso58 on 11/2/2020 & rated 91 points: Very young appearance, still some purple tones of this deep coloured Givry.

Nose is very opulent, with lots of cherry fruit accompanied by spices.

Medium weight in the mouth with very good length, very silky and seductive,

This is phenomenal quality for a Givry, and drinking fantastic now as most 17s. No hurry if you can resist it in the cellar. (2112 views)

François Lumpp

Producer Website French

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.

François Lumpp Givry 1er Cru A Vigne Rouge

DOMAINE FRANCOIS LUMPP A Vigne Rouge 1er Cru, Givry

This domaine, totalling 9.5ha, is one of the best addresses of the Côte Chalonnaise. A Vigne Rouge is the largest 1er Cru, 2.45ha halfway up the slope of Givry. It has a mix of clay soils in the north and limestone in the south. Topography is also varied, with vineyard slopes facing south, east and south-east.

The grapes for this wine are 100% destemmed and fermented in open top tanks. There is no racking after pressing and the wine is matured for 12 months in Taransaud barrels of which 70% are new. Lumpp has followed organic farming principles and practices since 1990 but has not sought organic certification.

Pinot Noir

Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.


Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.

Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.

The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.

Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.

In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.

With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.

Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
