About this winery
François Lumpp is undeniably one of the standout winemakers in the Givry appellation. Alongside a select group of vintners, he has elevated the appellation to prestigious heights through over two decades of patient dedication. Starting his viticultural journey in Givry in 1977, he parted ways with his brother to establish his own estate in 1991, now spanning 8 hectares exclusively within Givry.

Outstanding
(Vintage 2019)This is aromatically similar to the La Brûlée but spicier and more floral-inflected. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the silky and solidly dense middle weight flavors that possess just a bit more overall depth and persistence on the balanced, firm and built-to-age finale.

(Vintage 2020)Rouge sombre, brillant. Plus ouvert, exprimant la pureté et la maturité de son terroir, Crausot signe un 2020 remarquable, une quintessence de framboises et de mûres sauvages, son empreinte boisé l'accompagne, l'ensemble est frais et accueillant. La bouche est exquise, la concentration, la trame, les tanins veloutés et mûrs, tout est en place. Il a la fraîcheur des calcaires qui vient tempérer sa richesse. Un grand vin de garde qui se dégustera sur la décennie.

William Kelley, (Vintage 2019)The 2019 Givry 1er Cru Crausot is showing very well, mingling notions of berries and plums with sweet spices in an inviting bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, layered and succulent, with fine tannins and bright acids, it concludes with a long, flavorful finish.

(Vintage 2017)This is also aromatically cool and pure with its slightly more elegant nose of dark currant, spice, violet and plum. I really like the sophisticated texture of the seductive and sappy flavors that is due in large part to the refined tannins that are dense but fine, all wrapped in an intensely mineral-driven finish. This too is first-rate and should amply reward mid-term cellaring of up to a decade and perhaps even a bit longer

(Vintage 2020)Cask sample. Similar to the village wine but there is an extra layer of concentration. Plenty of definition and lightness on its feet. Purity of fruit comes through.
