Domaine Luquet, founded in 1878, has been a fixture in southern Burgundy for generations. From the heart of the Mâconnais region, the estate focuses heavily on terroir-driven white Chardonnay wines. This Saint-Véran "Vers Les Monts" is a prime example of their precise, pure style, sourced from old vines around the village of Chasselas.
The grapes come from south-facing plots near Chasselas, a village in the northern part of the Saint-Véran appellation. The vines are on average 40 years old and rooted in chalky soils, which creates tension and freshness in the final wine. The south-facing exposure promotes optimal ripening of the grapes without losing their elegance.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18 to 20 degrees Celsius. The wine then matures further in steel, without any oak. This approach fully preserves the terroir's expression, resulting in bright fruit notes and a fresh structure.
