Overview:
The Joseph Drouhin 2021 Mâcon Lugny Les Crays is a delightful expression of Burgundy’s Mâconnais region, originating from the "Les Crays" vineyard, which derives its name from the Celtic word "cracos," meaning "stony hill." The terroir, with its stony screes and alluvial cones, provides the perfect foundation for the vine, contributing to the wine's minerality and freshness. This wine beautifully balances ripe fruit maturity with vibrant freshness, delivering a refined and elegant character.
Tasting Notes:

On the palate, it combines the richness of the fruit with a lively, almost salty minerality that carries through to a smooth, mineral finish. Its full-bodied structure is both refreshing and satisfying. The Joseph Drouhin Mâcon Lugny Les Crays is an excellent match for a variety of dishes, particularly those featuring light, fresh ingredients.
