Macon-Lugny LES CRAYs
-
- The Mâcon-Lugny appellation area is located in the south of Burgundy.
- The vineyard “Les Crays” lies in Saint-Gengoux-de-Scissé, 30 km north of Pouilly-Fuissé and 15 km east of Cluny at an altitude of 300m
- Its western exposure enables to keep some freshness in this warmest part of Burgundy.
- Supply: grapes and must purchased from regular suppliers (long term contracts).
- Pressing: very slow so as to respect fruit. Juices from the very last pressings are not retained.
- Aged in stainless steel vats during 6 to 8 months.
GRAPE VARIETY:
-
- 100% Chardonnay
2024 VINTAGE:
-
- Challenging weather conditions left their marks on 2024 harvest, yet thanks to meticulous grape sorting and precise vinification, we achieved wines of remarkable quality, though in limited quantities.
- The extended sunshine through mid-September gave the white wines a beautiful balance, revealing aromas of fresh fruit and citrus, delicately mingled with hints of almond and white blossom.
- Elegant and refined, they offer both freshness and purity on the palate.
FOOD PAIRINGS:
-
- “White Burgundy pairs well with fowl and fish, particularly when grilled, and with recipes incorporating butter or nuts. Avoid dishes with spicy heat, sharp ingredients, and overtly sweet foods.” – WineToMatch.com
TASTING NOTES:
“The wine reveals an appealing freshness. It combines the maturity of the fruit and freshness over an almost salty structure. It shows a shining color, a nose reminiscent of flower and peach, and a full mouth with a mineral finish. It can be served with summer salads, raw or grilled fish, tempura, roast chicken, vegetable and prawn wok, goat cheese”. – Véronique Boss-Drouhin
