The 2019 Givry à Vigne Rouge 1er Cru has a high-toned, ripe and generous bouquet with kirsch, orange peel and redcurrant scents, one that appears to calm down and mellow with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with layers of fleshy red fruit, tender and refined with well-judged acidity and satisfying tension to keep everything fresh on the finish. This is an absolutely delightful Givry from Lumpp.

The finest wine I have ever tasted from this important estate is the 2019 Givry 1er Cru A Vigne Rouge, a striking cuvée that wafts from the glass with aromas of cassis, plums, wild berries, sweet soil tones and spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's bright and vibrant, with superb depth at the core and a long, penetrating finish.
