Maison Louis Latour rigorously selects grapes from the well-exposed commune of Lugny which was the only village planted with Chardonnay 30 years ago due to a perfect terroir. Lugny is one of the top vineyards in southern Burgundy's Mâconnais region, Mâcon-Lugny " Les Genièvres " is an outstanding wine. Opulent, rich, with a flowery bouquet and lovely honey, apple and nutty flavors on the palate.
Very round and supple. The nose unveils aromas of lemon along with honey notes and hints of acacia. This has beautiful structure and is perfect to drink now. The 2008 is the best we Latour we have tasted in 20 years and that is really saying something about this perennial value. 90RAS
