Domaine François Lumpp Givry 1er Cru "Clos du Cras Long" red 2023

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2026 (Sept 2024): 94/100 RVF. Clos du Cras Long is fresher and more reserved but also deeper and more captivating, extended by a breath combining black fruits and chalky flavors.

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

Grape variety: pinot noir
Area: 0.64 Ha
Orientation: East, southeast (256 m)
Terroir: Upper Oxfordian, Nantoux limestone, limestone arranged in benches separated by fine marls.

Our vision of the profession: Having the chance to have beautiful terroirs at our disposal, we have associated them with a qualitative grape variety as well as rigorous vineyard and soil work.
We have chosen an advanced reasoned viticulture: abandonment of chemical weeding since 1995, with soil work (tilling, light hilling, inter-row cultivation…) to control the various weeds that grow in our vineyards and to avoid compaction. The number of treatments and the choice of vine protection products depend mainly on the rainfall of the current year. We generally start with approved treatments in organic viticulture (copper/sulfur) to prevent the appearance of various diseases. If the pressure from these becomes too significant, we choose conventional treatments to reduce the number of passes that the use of organic products would entail to ensure the good health of the vine and grapes.
Green harvesting is sometimes necessary to limit yields and ensure a quality harvest.
For the same purpose and to combat wood diseases, we changed our pruning system in 2013.
The grapes are harvested by hand and meticulously sorted in the vineyard by the pickers and then on a sorting table to ensure the quality of the wine regardless of the vintage.

The work in the cellar is carried out in continuity with the work in the vineyard, as simply as possible, with the aim of allowing the terroir to express itself. The oak barrel aging has been adjusted over the vintages by François with a portion of new barrels, and barrels of one and two wines.

The wines remain in barrels for about 12 months. They are then racked, filtered, and bottled after tasting and in accordance with the lunar calendar. A resting period between each step allows the wine to be appreciated under the best conditions right from bottling.
