Ethereal Wild Berries, Fine Spice, and Silky Premier Cru Elegance

The 2021 Domaine François Lumpp Givry 1er Cru "Clos Jus" is a remarkably refined, fragrant, and gracefully built red Burgundy that represents one of the undisputed crown jewels of the Côte Chalonnaise. Sourced from a prized, south-facing walled parcel famous for its reddish clay-limestone soils, this cuvée captures the cool-vintage precision and pure fruit transparency of 2021 to perfection. It opens with an enchanting nose of wild red raspberries, crunchy red cherries, and dried floral petals, lifted by subtle notes of sweet spices, light smoke, and fine French oak. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, lithe, and supple, carrying a vibrant core of red fruit across a bed of silky, fine-grained tannins into a fresh, long, and beautifully detailed finish.

Terroir, History & Acclaim

Critical Recognition:
Burghound 90-93 pts
  • 90-93 Points (Sweet Spot / Outstanding) - Burghound (Allen Meadows): Elegant, cool and airy aromas of red and dark berries are trimmed in hints of earth and the sauvage. The sleek, delicious and intense medium-bodied flavors possess a gorgeous texture while delivering excellent length on the slightly firmer finale where a touch of bitter pit fruit character slowly emerges.
  • The Iconic Terroir of Clos Jus: Situated in the northern section of Givry, *Clos Jus* is a historic, walled vineyard parcel renowned for its distinct reddish, iron-rich clay and limestone soils. The south/south-west slope ensures excellent sun exposure, enabling Pinot Noir vines to achieve complete ripeness while retaining an aristocratic, spice-inflected complexity and silky structural finesse.
  • François Lumpp’s Benchmark Craft: Universally revered as the gold standard of Givry, the Lumpp family practices meticulous organic-minded viticulture and strict hand-sorting. The grapes are 100% destemmed and undergo cold maceration before natural fermentation, followed by elevage in select French oak barrels to polish the elegant fruit purity and fine-grained tannin structure.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir estate-harvested from the famous Clos Jus Premier Cru vineyard in Givry.
  • A beautifully lithe, high-toned 2021 expression prized for its wild red berry perfume, subtle spice, and powdery tannins.
  • Crafted by François Lumpp, the undisputed benchmark domaine of the Côte Chalonnaise.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Translucent, bright ruby-red core with subtle crimson and sapphire flashes at the rim.
  • Nose: Fragrant, open, and airily perfumed. It opens with pristine aromas of wild red cherries, raspberries, and dried floral petals, accompanied by notes of soft wood spice, subtle smoke, and damp earth.
  • Palate: Dry, medium-bodied, and gracefully smooth. The attack delivers a vibrant line of crunchy red fruit that glides over fine, dusty, cashmere-soft tannins. An energetic spine of natural acidity carries into a long, polished, and mineral-driven finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly cool at 14–16°C. A gentle, cellar-like chill highlights the bright red fruit purity and protects its delicate floral aromatics.
  • Decanting: A brief 20-to-30 minute decant is recommended if opening early to allow the high-toned aromatics to open in the glass. Cellar-worthy over the next 8 to 12 years.
  • Western Pairing: Roast duck breast with cherry reduction, pan-seared veal cutlets, herb-crusted pork tenderloin, or mild soft cheeses.
  • Asian Pairing: Peking duck wraps, Cantonese barbecued pork (Char Siu), soy sauce chicken, or delicate pan-fried pork dumplings.
