| | 2010 is almost certainly the greatest vintage in the history of the Mâconnais, which is located just south of the more famous Côte de Beaune. As Chris Avent, the USA export director for Cave de Lugny explained to me, "We have many vintages in the Mâconnais where we get ideal ripeness on the grapes, and a fair number in which we get ideal acidity. But it is almost unprecedented get both ideal ripeness and ideal acidity in the same year. We got that in 2010, and the wines are simply amazing." The 2010 Cave de Lugny La Côte Blanche displays a brilliant light yellow color with green lights toward the center. The nose offers up fresh and surprisingly intense notes of mineral, yellow fruit and floral, followed on the palate, by light, bright, energetic flavors of fresh cut apple, yellow fruit and white flowers. Although not a big wine, this unoaked White Burgundy has a sneaky intensity and persistence of flavor that is totally convincing and engaging. |
