Mâcon-Lugny Saint Pierre

“Les Charmes” is indeed a charming wine, rich in texture and generous in fresh, fruity flavors. Enjoy it with seafood, poultry, macaroni and cheese, and just about anything with a creamy sauce. The Cave de Lugny is part of a large co-op was that was founded in 1927 with 116 wine growers. Today it is going stronger than ever with a roll call of more than 400 members. Located in southern Burgundy’s Maconnais region, Lugny is the largest producer of Mâcon-Villages. Ever wonder where the word “Chardonnay” came from? Eons before the name was bestowed on the grape in the late 19th century, a small settlement named Chardonnay was established on the western side of Burgundy in the mid 1400s. Today the little village boasts just under 200 inhabitants.

Yes, this wine comes from a village of Chardonnay in the Mâcon region of Burgundy. It's a typical, crisp, freshly green Chardonnay that zings on to the palate. No wood here, just light grapefruit and citrus flavors, rounded with a touch of apple. Screwcap.
