Domaine Luquet Depuis 1878

Domaine Luquet Depuis 1878 is run by fifth generation Patrick Luquet. This 26 ha family domaine is very much in the heart of the village of Fuissé, in the Saône-et-Loire department (7 kms from Mâcon) Indeed the ‘Clos du Bourg’ is situated in front of the Church in the centre of the village. Patrick uses no oak ageing in the winemaking process whatsoever, producing wines that express both fruit and terroir with no interfering dimensions. As Patrick says “We really appreciate our terroir”. Renowned for their purity his wines are beautiful from an early age.

The bouquet is immediate, ripe and forward, with creamy apple pie nuances and a hint of freshly cut lime. It is lovely, ripe, rounded and slightly buttery, but always with that approachability and open style, balanced by zesty acidity and mild minerality
The Chardonnay grapes are pressed, then fermented in steel tank before ageing on fine lees. No added sulphites.
