The flagship cuvée and the estate's largest holding — 2.45 hectares of clay-limestone soil rich in iron oxide, planted in stages between 1982 and 2008. This is Lumpp at his most structured: a sensational, perfumed nose that jumps out of the glass, with a bigger, bolder palate and real mineral heft. Fine, silky tannins wrap around a lively, energetic finish. Already drinking beautifully but built to age — the kind of cuvée that's putting Givry on the map for serious Burgundy drinkers.
90-93 Points
"Here there is no reductive funk with an expressive and very pretty nose that combines notes of spiced plum and black cherry with those of earth, soft wood and a hint of tea. The super-sleek and beautifully detailed medium weight flavors are also supported..."
