Macon-Lugny LES CRAYs

 

 

 

DESCRIPTION:

• • 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

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
