Tasting notes
The iron-rich soils of this lieu-dit have produced a 2016 Givry 1er Cru Clos Jus that's deeper-pitched than most of Lumpp's other Givrys, revealing notes of black cherries and sweet spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and chewy, with more power and layered substance. It will repay a few years' bottle age.

The nose was moderately reduced but my sense is that it won't last. The dense, vibrant and succulent medium weight flavors exude a lovely minerality that helps to add depth to the lingering finish that is shaped by firm but relatively fine-grained tannins. I very much like this and especially for the excellent complexity.
More compressed than their Crausot, with grainier tannins too. Bold flavours and a long, spicy finish. Wonderfully savoury and appetising, and hints at interesting earthy flavours to come. (RH)
