Saturday Sips

Domaine Francois Lumpp

It’s hot out there but the humidity is no match for tomorrow’s lineup of elegant, cool and concentrated wines from Francois Lumpp! The domaine has been quietly crafting some of Givry’s most expressive and stylish wines since the early ’90s and today is generally recognized as the finest in the region. This dynamic estate is now run by Francois’s daughter Ann-Cecile and her approach to viticulture, just like her father, borders on the fanatical with very careful choice of plant material to give the highest quality results. The domaine now stretches to just over 9ha of vineyards with the majority situated in prime premier cru sites or ‘sweet spots’ on the rolling hills around Givry. The whites are all vinified throughout in barrel and levels of new wood adjusted to suit the vintage – their aim is to make bright wines which are developed rather than masked by their time in barrel – the reds are pure, poised and beautifully balanced.

We’ll have a selection of their wines open for you to try this Saturday between 10am and 5pm at the warehouse, or feel free to shop online on the link below.
