Givry 1er Cru Clos Jus François Lumpp (Domaine) 2020

The wine

Clos Jus is just north of Givry and its soils are rich in clay and chalk. François Lumpp always aims to underline the character of this terroir, cultivating his vines with utmost attention. To craft this cuvée the grapes were fully destemmed before a cold maceration lasting 5 to 10 days to extract colour and flavour. The juice was then put in vats for three weeks before being matured in oak casks, some new and others one or two years old. The lunar calendar is followed for stirring, filtering and bottling the wine. In the glass this cuvée has a lovely intensity and a bouquet evoking cherry, plum, grilled nuts, and a light hint of pepper. Structured by good tannins, it will pair nicely with a characterful dish such as game or lamb.
