Cave de Lugny Mâcon-Lugny Les Charmes Chardonnay 750ml

The expression of a terroir

The Mâcon Lugny locality "Les Charmes" is the jewel of the production of the Cave de Lugny and the pride of its winegrowers. The harvest comes exclusively from a specific locality in the commune of Lugny, which is in the form of a 105-hectare plateau dominated by clay-limestone. The south/south-east orientation allows it to benefit from optimal sunshine. The average age of the vines is over 40 years, with the particularity that it is partly composed of so-called "musky" Chardonnay plants which give the wine all its originality.
This wine is the reflection of hard work and a guarantee of quality all over the world.

Renowned throughout the world, the Mâcon-Lugny Les Charmes comes from the predominantly limestone plateau of the same name, located in the commune of Lugny. This wine has a full, velvety and spicy palate, revealing floral and fruity aromas (honey, acacia, citrus) which gives it a unique style.
