Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
Burghound 91-94 pts
Jasper Morris 92 pts
  • 91-94 Points (Sweet Spot) - Burghound (Allen Meadows): A wonderfully spicy nose features notes of exotic tea, cinnamon and clove that add breadth to the more floral-suffused aromas of mostly red currant and plum. There is again excellent verve to the utterly delicious medium weight flavors that conclude in a beautifully long, youthfully austere and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is a 'buy and forget you own it' for at least 5 years, and 10 would be better. In a word, excellent.
  • 92 Points ★★★★★ - Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy): A bright mid ruby with additional density and class. All in dark, but fresh, berry fruit, a fine thread of acidity through the middle, certainly the most complete wine. I would prefer to give this five years. Drink from 2028-2032. Tasted Apr 2024.
  • The Distinct Terroir of A Vigne Rouge: Sourced from old vines (5+ years and up) in premier limestone-rich Givry plots, *A Vigne Rouge* yields intensely aromatic and structured Pinot Noir. The stony soils and optimal exposition provide a striking balance between solar warmth and cool mineral tension.
  • François Lumpp’s Benchmark Winemaking: Universally revered as the gold standard of Givry, the Lumpp family practices organic-minded viticulture and strict hand-sorting. The grapes are 100% destemmed and undergo gentle cold maceration before natural fermentation, followed by aging in fine French oak barrels to polish the chiseled tannins without masking the site's unique spice and limestone purity.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir estate-harvested from old-vine Premier Cru plots in Givry.
  • A radiant 2022 expression combining spicy aromatic complexity with energetic limestone minerality.
  • Crafted by François Lumpp, the undisputed benchmark domaine of the Côte Chalonnaise.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Translucent, deep ruby-red core with energetic crimson reflections at the rim.
  • Nose: Intensely fragrant and complex. It opens with spicy notes of exotic tea, cinnamon, and clove, layered over floral-suffused red currants, plums, and subtle mineral undertones.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and precise. The entry brings a vibrant wave of red and dark berry fruit supported by fine-grained, chiseled tannins. Driven by a lively spine of natural acidity, it finishes long, austere, and impeccably balanced.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 14–16°C. A gentle cellar-like chill focuses the spice-laden aromatics and keeps the structured tannins smooth.
  • Decanting: A 30-to-45 minute decant is recommended if opening early to allow the complex spice notes and structure to unfold. Cellar-worthy over the next 10 to 15 years.
  • Western Pairing: Roasted duck breast, pan-seared venison chops, herb-crusted pork tenderloin, or wild mushroom risottos.
  • Asian Pairing: Peking duck wraps, five-spice roasted pork, Cantonese barbecued pork (Char Siu), or braised beef brisket.
