Mâcon-Lugny

Description

Tasting: White gold color, with greenish and shiny reflections. On the nose, the aromas suggest broom, white rose, acacia, honeysuckle, fern, verbena, lemongrass, citrus fruits (grapefruit, mandarin). Nuances of pine, quince and fennel appear on the finish. Fresh and easy-drinking wine, dry but very fruity. It has a good concentration, with the acid support necessary for their duration. Roundness and smoothness characterize the place called “Saint Pierre” in the municipal appellation of Lugny.

Food and Wine Pairings: As an aperitif of course, for the insolent charm of its beautiful lively appearance, with biscuits, peanuts and olives. But its versatile character, associated with its liveliness, its roundness, its smoothness and its aromatic complexity, makes it a very easy wine to combine, because it is very well balanced: poultry and veal in creamy sauce revere it in winter. In summer, grilled fish, cold antipasti and ratatouilles, complex salads with onions cannot resist it. It rolls them in its fruity aromatic strength. Even sushi and goat cheese have adopted it.
