Vintage Character Domaine François Lumpp Givry 'Crausot' Premier Cru Rouge 2023 comes from the Premier Cru appellation of Givry in Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise, where Pinot Noir often combines the perfume of the Côte d’Or with a slightly sunnier, more open-knit charm. The 2023 vintage is widely regarded as generous and successful in Burgundy: a warm growing season delivered ripe fruit, while sufficient freshness helped preserve balance and definition. Crausot is one of Givry’s standout Premier Cru sites, noted for its limestone-rich, stony soils, which give the wine both aromatic lift and a finely etched, mineral-backed structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing The wine shows classic Pinot Noir poise, opening with red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, then unfurling violet, peony, subtle spice and a light earthy note. On the palate it is supple yet precise, with medium body, lively acidity and fine tannins carrying the fruit through a fresh, savory finish. The 2023 release was rated 91–93 by Wine Advocate, underscoring the consistency of this cuvée. It pairs beautifully with roast duck, herb-crusted pork tenderloin, or mushroom risotto.
Winery Background Founded in 1991, Domaine François Lumpp has become one of the reference-point estates of Givry, widely credited with raising the village’s profile through meticulous work in top Premier Cru vineyards. The domaine remains family-led, with Anne-Cécile and Pierre Lumpp continuing François Lumpp’s exacting, terroir-first approach. Vineyard work is careful and low-intervention in spirit, with hand-harvesting and close attention to parcel expression, while cellar élevage is designed to support rather than mask the fruit, typically through precise vinification and measured use of French oak. That combination of rigor, site transparency and dependable finesse is what makes Lumpp a benchmark name in the Côte Chalonnaise.
