Francois Lumpp Givry Blanc Clos des Vignes Rondes 2022

The wine starts off slowly and subtly

this is textbook Lavaut

and rich one suspects a spoon could stand upright

but there was also frost in 2007)

The vineyard that produces the fruit used in the 2015 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda has more limestone than elsewhere in the area and has very white soils as a result

a profound opaque purple color and enormous notes of lead pencil shavings intermixed with blackberry liqueur

underbrush and newly turned earth

Note however that this beauty of a Griotte is markedly firm and will not be an especially inviting early drinker

There is good volume and concentration to the delicious and vibrant flavors that possess very good mid-palate concentration as well as fine length on the palate coating finish

The freshness continues onto the appealingly energetic medium weight flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the more complex and slightly more persistent finale

blackberry and cassis

plum and spice nuances
