--------THE PRODUCER--------

Cave de Lugny

Based in the village of Lugny, the Caves de Lugny is a large cooperative with 250+ members. In fact it produces about half the total wine made in the region! Taken together, the surface area represents 1400 ha or about 15 square kilometres of vines surrounding the Cave. Over 85% of the vineyards are planted with Chardonnay grape varietal. The Cave de Lugny receives grapes from 232 estates extending over 27 communes. 

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is without a doubt the most known and most widely planted white grape variety around the world. It is historically home in Burgundy where it produces a more refined, mineral and poised wines all up and down the Cote de Beaune and in Chablis. Throughout the new world it gained fame in both California and Australia where it is known to produce big, rich, buttery and tropical fruit-laden white wines. 

 

--------THE REGION--------

Burgundy

Burgundy is one of the most important wine regions in the world. It is often the one region that winemakers not lucky enough to be based there strive to make wine in. Run over to your local winery and I am sure that you'll find at least one Burgundy-phile. It is the historical home of the two major grapes: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
