Domaine Luce Macon Village [2021] 750ml, white

Wine making that is hailed as the epitome of white wine without the use of barrels

The Luquet family is a Vigneron family that has continued for six generations since 1878 in the village of Fuisse, located about 7 km southwest of Mâcon. The current domaine was founded in 1966 by Roger Lucquet, the fourth generation, and it started with less than 5 hectares of land, but thanks to Roger's efforts, it has grown to the point where it now owns approximately 30 hectares. Most of the cultivated varieties are Chardonnay, and 240,000 bottles of wine are produced annually. 40% of this will be used within France, and 60% will be exported. Currently, Roger's daughter Christine and his son Patrick have taken over the domaine, with Roger acting as a consultant for the domaine. Since 2014, Patrick's son Kevin, the 6th generation, has also joined the domaine. It is a strong and reliable domaine that continues to grow.

Cultivation/brewing

Cultivation is practiced using Rutt Raisonné. The vines are between 40 and 65 years old in Pouilly-Fuissé, 20 to 30 years old in Saint Veran, and 10 to 20 years old in Mâcon Village. Brewing is done in separate compartments, all of which are fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel. Cooling coils are used in the tanks, and the cellar is also fully air-conditioned, ensuring thorough temperature control to bring out the aromas of the grapes. Therefore, Rüquet wines not only have great fruit aromas, but also a clean and crisp finish. The amount of antioxidants added during brewing is also kept to a very low level. All wines undergo malolactic fermentation and Surlie aging. Mâcon Village and Saint-Véran are aged for a short period of about 6 months. Pouilly-Fuissé is suitable for long-term aging, so it is aged for 12 months or more.

Adopted all over the world

The beauty of Domaine Luquet's wines is their straightforwardness. Our main focus is on making wine without using barrels, allowing you to enjoy the pure flavor of the grapes and the minerals that come from the soil. It has a fresh citrus fruit aroma and a pleasant minerality on the palate, and although it has a bit of thickness, the acidity rounds it out nicely. "Pouilly-Fuisse Terroir" is used in various restaurants around the world, and even in 5-star hotels. It is widely used in retail stores such as Saint Veran and Macon, and is also carried by the long-established British department store "Fortnum & Mason." R. Parker praises it as ``a good example of a white that does not use barrels'', and it is one of the best domaines in the Mâconnais area.

The wine is brewed in stainless steel tanks without the use of barrels, and aged in Surrey. A wine with an elegant and rich minerality.
