January 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.1 person found this helpful 1,550 views
