The Estate
Domaine du Bouchet, owned by Maison Louis Jadot, is located in the Burgundy wine region of France. This renowned estate is distinguished by its well-tended vineyards and environmentally friendly viticultural practices. The estate's plots are carefully selected for their potential to produce exceptional wines, including red wines made from Pinot Noir and white wines made from Chardonnay, characteristic of the region.
Domaine du Bouchet thus perpetuates the exceptional wine heritage of Burgundy, by producing wines which fully express the unique character of their terroir and their vintage.
The terroir
Located in the three communes of Lugny, Bissy-la-Mâconnaise and Saint-Gengoux-de-Scissé, the estate's vines are part of the Mâcon-Lugny appellation, where the limestone soil brings freshness and complexity to the wines of these hilly regions. The Domaine du Bouchet plots enjoy a distinctive terroir, characterized by clay-limestone soils and ideal exposures, promoting optimal maturation of the grapes. This combination of geographical and climatic conditions contributes to the production of wines of great finesse and beautiful aromatic complexity.
The grape variety
The 2022 Mâcon-Lugny Domaine du Bouchet is an iconic white wine from Burgundy, made from the Chardonnay grape variety. This world-famous grape variety is known for its versatility and ability to faithfully reflect the terroir from which it comes.
In the vineyards of Domaine du Bouchet, the Chardonnay flourishes fully, benefiting from the clay-limestone soils characteristic of the Mâconnais region. The ideal climatic conditions, with hot summers and sunny autumns, allow the grapes to ripen slowly and develop all their aromatic complexity.
Chardonnay produces elegant and refined white wines, with a rich and nuanced aromatic palette. On the nose, we often find aromas of white-fleshed fruits such as apple and pear, as well as delicate floral notes. On the palate, the wine is distinguished by its creamy texture, refreshing acidity and impressive length in the mouth.
The wine
The 2022 Mâcon-Lugny Domaine du Bouchet perfectly embodies the classic style of Burgundy white wines, with its subtle balance of fruit, minerality and elegance. Whether enjoyed alone as an aperitif or accompanied by refined dishes such as seafood or mature cheeses, this wine offers an unforgettable sensory experience, highlighting all the expertise and authenticity of Domaine du Bouchet.
