Louis Latour Macon Lugny Les Genievres 2024

A elegant Chardonnay from Lugny in the Mâconnais, southern Burgundy. The vineyard sits on clay and limestone soils, with vines averaging around 30 years old.

The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and undergoes complete malolactic fermentation. It is then aged for 8 to 10 months in stainless steel, preserving the fruit and freshness without the influence of oak.

• The nose is expressive and floral, with acacia and honeysuckle alongside delicate vanilla.
• The palate is round and generous, showing ripe yellow fruit with a fresh, balanced character.
• The finish is elegant and persistent, with the limestone terroir contributing freshness and definition.

This is a polished, approachable style of southern Burgundy Chardonnay, offering plenty of character without the oak influence associated with many richer white Burgundies.

This Chardonnay is particularly well suited to grilled fish and seafood, with its fresh acidity complementing delicate fish while its rounded texture works with richer preparations.
