Domaine Roger Luquet

Domaine Roger Luquet 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.

Made using 100% Chardonnay to give finesse and elegance. Dry, but full-bodied, rich, fruity and supple.

Perfect as an aperitif. Try on its own, or as an accompaniment to a meal. Goes very well with fish and grilled shellfish. Or, have it at the end of the meal as it goes particularly well with fruit-based deserts. One last piece of advice : there is no need to age it. Serve at 8°C.

The grapes are harvested by hand before being transported to the cellar. The grapes are slowly and carefully pressed (on the basis of 150 kg of harvest for 100 litres of juice) and vinified using the traditional method.
