A family heritage in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise

Located in Givry, Burgundy, Domaine François Lumpp is a family-run vineyard founded in 1991 by François Lumpp and his wife, Isabelle. After inheriting the family property in the 1970s, François decided to establish his own estate, focusing exclusively on Givry's finest premier crus. This dedicated approach has earned the domaine a reputation for excellence in the region.

An exceptional terroir for distinctive wines

The estate spans approximately 9 hectares, with carefully selected plots primarily situated on the slopes of Givry. The vines, planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, benefit from rich clay-limestone soils and ideal exposure, contributing to the production of elegant and expressive wines. Each plot is cultivated with meticulous care to faithfully reflect the unique characteristics of its terroir.

Winemaking combining tradition and precision

François Lumpp is renowned for his meticulous approach to winemaking. By prioritizing limited yields and manual harvesting, he ensures the optimal quality of the grapes. Fermentations are conducted with indigenous yeasts, and aging occurs in French oak barrels, a portion of which is renewed annually. This method preserves the purity of the fruit while adding aromatic complexity to the wines.

Signature cuvées reflecting the estate's expertise

Among the estate's flagship wines, the Givry Premier Cru "A Vigne Rouge" stands out with its deep color and intense aromas of red fruits and spices. The Givry Premier Cru "Clos Jus" offers an elegant structure with subtle notes of cherry and underbrush. In white, the Givry Premier Cru "Crausot" delights with its freshness and minerality, revealing delicate aromas of white flowers and citrus. Each cuvée authentically reflects its terroir and the Lumpp family's expertise.

International acclaim

Domaine François Lumpp's wines are cherished by enthusiasts and critics worldwide. Their consistent quality and ability to express the unique character of each plot make them essential references among Givry wines. This recognition underscores the Lumpp family's commitment to producing exceptional wines that blend tradition and innovation.
