Vintage Character The 2021 vintage in Burgundy, particularly in the Côte Chalonnaise, was shaped by a challenging spring with severe frost and a mild, relatively cool summer, resulting in reduced yields but wines of notable finesse and aromatic intensity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 90 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Francois Lumpp Givry 1er Cru Clos Jus Rouge 2021 exemplifies the vintage’s elegance, offering a bouquet of vibrant red cherry, wild strawberry, and delicate hints of crushed violets, underpinned by subtle earth and spice. On the palate, the wine is supple and fresh, with refined tannins and a lively core of red fruit, complemented by a touch of minerality that leads to a long, harmonious finish. Its graceful structure makes it a superb companion for roast duck breast or classic coq au vin, while its finesse also pairs beautifully with mild Brie or Camembert cheese.
