2016 L'Atelier Macon-Lugny St-Pierre

The L’Atelier range is the natural extension of Benjamin Laroche’s offerings of Burgundian cuvées now expanding to the rest of the region and its famous red and white wines. Artisan winemakers craft each cuvée of l’Atelier following state-of-the-art rules. From plot selection to uncompromising winemaking, they work thoroughly all year round to age wines representing the best of their terroirs. L’Atelier expresses this passion for excellence. It combines in-depth vineyard knowledge and expertise with the heritage of the ancestral history of Burgundy.

In 2018 the wine was tasted:

Gold/yellow colour with greenish hints. In the nose, aromas suggest broom, white roses, acacia, fern, verbena, lemongrass, and citrus fruit (grapefruit, mandarin). Pine, quince, and fennel appear on the finish.

Fresh and mouth-filling wine, dry but with a nice sensation of fruit. Rounded, it is extremely well balanced with a nice acidity necessary for its ageing potential. Roundness and suppleness characterise the terroir of “Saint Pierre” on the local appellation of Lugny.
