The village of Lugny is located high up in the South of the Mâcon region. It has a great reputation for its white wines which has made Mâcon famous. It is well known that the village of Lugny, with its limestone soils and warm climate, produces the most coveted white wines of the region. The vineyard of « Les Genièvres » is one of the best. Maison Louis Latour selects the best grapes of this village, which thanks to its terroir, was the only village planted with Chardonnay 30 years ago.
Country: Burgundy, France
Tasting Note: This Mâcon-Lugny "Les Genièvres" 2016 reveals a pale golden colour. The nose reveals intense aromas of white fruits, elderflowers and muscat notes. The palate is full with a sweet scent of mandarin.
Louis Laotur是法國布根地的重量級酒莊，更是許多王公貴族的至愛及在世界各大高級酒店與餐廳酒單上都能見到他們的葡萄酒。加上他們一向以釀造頂級白酒見稱，這是因為在19世紀末的根瘤蚜疫情蹂躪之後，Latour 家族決定拔掉當時已死掉的紅葡萄樹，並以白葡萄Chardonnay取代，這一決定令他們成為布根地最著名的白葡萄酒世家。
而這款Louis Latour Macon特選白葡萄酒的葡萄園位於Macon區的南方，布根地Macon區以生產多果香與花香的雪多利白酒最為出名。Macon Lugny ”Les Genievres”這片葡萄園擁有絕佳的向陽地勢，加上合適的土壤性質，在30年前，這裡是唯一一塊種植Chardonnay葡萄的葡萄園。這款白酒平易近人又柔和清淡，連英國布萊爾首相(Tony Blair)在他的當選慶祝晚宴上， 也採用了這款白葡萄酒，是一款可以及時飲用、及時享受的布根地白酒。
飲酒筆記：酒體為淡金黃色帶著青草綠的反射光，非常直接的花果香帶著香甜蜂蜜味，麝香葡萄的香氣隱含著甘草的芳香，圓熟的口感跟隨著核桃與堅果的回味，風格相當討喜。
