Vintage Character The 2020 Givry 1er Cru Crausot Blanc from François Lumpp is a sophisticated interpretation of Chardonnay, sourced from the highly regarded Crausot Premier Cru vineyard in Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise. The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by a warm, sunny growing season, which led to wines of notable concentration and ripeness, while still preserving freshness and vibrancy—widely considered an excellent year for white Burgundy.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 90 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine opens with enticing aromas of white peach, ripe pear, and citrus blossom, complemented by subtle notes of almond and gentle baking spices. The palate is elegantly textured, offering layers of orchard fruit, a hint of flinty minerality, and a creamy, refined mouthfeel balanced by lively acidity. The lingering finish reveals nuances of toasted hazelnut and wet stone, making it a superb match for dishes such as roast chicken with tarragon, seared scallops with beurre blanc, or classic Comté cheese.
Winery Background Domaine François Lumpp is a family-owned estate that has earned a reputation for precision and quality, focusing exclusively on the Givry appellation and its Premier Cru vineyards. Founded in 1991, the domaine quickly became recognized for producing expressive, terroir-driven wines from low-yielding vines rooted in limestone-rich soils. The estate practices careful vineyard management, manual harvesting, and employs a philosophy of minimal intervention in the cellar to allow the distinct character of each parcel to emerge. This dedication to showcasing the unique attributes of Givry’s finest terroirs has established François Lumpp as a benchmark producer within the Côte Chalonnaise.
