About this wine

Mâcon-Lugny "Les Genièvres" from Maison Louis Latour is an elegant expression of Chardonnay from one of the Mâconnais region's most prestigious villages. The village of Lugny is located high up in the south of the Mâcon region and has a great reputation for its white wines, which has made Mâcon famous. The vineyard of "Les Genièvres" is one of the best in Lugny, benefiting from limestone soils and a warm climate that produces the most coveted white wines of the region. Maison Louis Latour selects the best grapes from this village, which thanks to its terroir, was the only village planted with Chardonnay 30 years ago. Why You'll Love It This is classic Mâconnais Chardonnay from one of Burgundy's most respected producers. Louis Latour has been selecting the finest grapes from Lugny's "Les Genièvres" vineyard, one of the village's best sites. The limestone soils and warm climate create ideal conditions for Chardonnay, producing wines with elegance, minerality, and expressive fruit character. The traditional vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with complete malolactic fermentation, followed by 8-10 months of ageing, creates a wine that's round and generous while maintaining freshness.
