Macon Lugny St Pierre, Bouchard Pere et Fils

The Mâconnais area marks the transition between the north and south of France. Here the vineyards are not lined up as in the Côte d’Or, but scattered about on craggy hills. Supple, fresh and full of flavours, the white wines have built the reputation of this land of the Chardonnay grape. In the Mâconnais, the notion of Premier Cru does not exist, but the appellation Mâcon may be followed by the name of the village of origin, for example Mâcon-Lugny, coming exclusively from Lugny, noted for its roundness and unctuousness.

This wine is a great example of the appellation. Fresh nose offering a lovely bouquet of wildflowers. Pleasant, very perfumed and nicely rounded on the palate, this wine should be drunk young for its freshness.
