Origin
The word VILLAGES or the name of the commune of origin, just as LUGNY here, may only be added to the word MÂCON for wines harvested within the defined area of the MÂCON-VILLAGES appellation consisting of 26 named communes and grouped together.
The terroir in the Mâconnais is quite different than that of
It is particularly because of these differences in terroir that the wines made from the Chardonnay grapes harvested in this region have a mineral freshness about them that is a delight for those who like a change from the warmer more honeyed flavoured white wines of the Côte d’Or just north of the Mâconnais.
Vinification and maturing
Vintage : 2022
The conditions were quite uncertain, but mild in the end throughout the season!
The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.
Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.
A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.
The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
