Vintage Character The 2021 Givry Blanc from François Lumpp is a luminous expression of white Burgundy from the Côte Chalonnaise, crafted entirely from Chardonnay grown in the limestone-rich soils of Givry. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was marked by a cool, frost-affected spring followed by a mild summer, resulting in wines celebrated for their brightness, tension, and refined structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This vintage’s conditions produced a wine with remarkable freshness and clarity, displaying aromas of white flowers, crisp green apple, and citrus zest, layered with nuances of almond and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is energetic and focused, with vibrant acidity, a silky mouthfeel, and a persistent finish that reveals notes of lemon curd and flinty minerality. Its versatility at the table makes it an excellent partner for dishes such as grilled sea bass, creamy goat cheese, or classic chicken in tarragon sauce, where its lively character enhances both seafood and richer poultry preparations.
