Macon-Lugny ‘Genievres’, Louis Latour – HALF

MAY SALE – Save 20%

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.

Louis Latour is one of the most famous domains in this region and their special bottling under teh ‘Genievres’ name is an absolute classic. It is a perfect example of the appellation and comes in a handy half bottle size. 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.

Note that this is a half bottle – 37.5cl.
