François Lumpp, Givry Premier Cru Petit Marole Blanc, 2022
François Lumpp is one of the standout producers in Givry, known for working exclusively with estate-owned, hand-tended vineyards across the appellation. Petit Marole is a small premier cru on the eastern side of Givry, where deeper clay and fine limestone create a natural balance of richness and tension in Chardonnay. The domaine farms sustainably and vinifies with gentle pressing and careful élevage, often in well-seasoned barrels, to highlight the site’s character.
The 2022 Petit Marole Blanc is vivid and neatly sculpted, offering notes of citrus, white peach and a hint of hazelnut. The palate is crisp and textural, with fresh acidity carrying the fruit toward a clean, lightly mineral finish. It’s an expressive and refined premier cru that shows how compelling white Burgundy from the Côte Chalonnaise can be when handled with this level of skill.
Varietal: Chardonnay
Appellation: Givry Premier Cru Petit Marole, Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy, France
Farming: Sustainable practices
Style: White. Fresh, textural and finely balanced
