Founded in 1926, Cave de Lugny is a cooperative of family-owned, wine-growing estates, made up of more than 400 members and 3150 acres of AOC Burgundy Mâconnais. Nearly 90% of Cave de Lugny’s production is Chardonnay – unoaked and sur-lie aged in the traditional style of Burgundy.
A large single plot measuring 1 hectare, planted by “massal selection” (the traditional method of selecting suitable reproductive material from the best plants, in a particular farm or other holdings) in the 1930s on marly soil with southern exposure, on the border of the communes of Puligny-Montrachet and Corpeau. Rich soil, particularly suited to the production of “generic” Burgundy appellations (Chardonnay, Aligoté and Pinot Noir).
