Givry 2019

Lumpp is a specialist in the terroirs of Givry, located in the southern end of the Châlonnaise, and takes immense pride in proving to his neighbors farther north that Givry is capable of producing great white wine. From his highest-altitude white vineyard, this Chardonnay shows its origins faithfully with a bright, chalky personality full of energy and thirst-quenching savor.

The 2019 Givry Clos des Vignes Rondes Blanc has impressive intensity on the nose, more powerful than the Crausot Premier Cru, and subtle mint and fennel aromas complement the green apples and pear. The palate is well balanced with good weight, plenty of joie-de-vivre, and energy locked into this Givry with a vibrant citric finish. This is a lovely wine, on par with the aforementioned Premier Cru. It will be difficult not to crack this open in its youth.
