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.
