Lucien Lardy

France

Terroirs Originels brings together a community of 25 vintners who continue to farm their land independently and all share the same passionate integrity to bring out the best authentic expressions of their specific heritage. The notion of conserving terroir is their priority and its protection is a vested commitment of each estate.

Lucien Lardy is proud to continue his family’s legacy of maintaining a French heritage by caring for historic vineyards in the famous cru villages of Fleurie, Morgon and Moulin-À-Vent. He vinifies each of his plots individually to achieve the true expression of each of his vineyards. Lucien favors semi-carbonic fermentation with partial destemming, all native yeasts and about two weeks maceration with partial ageing in a mixture of barrel and cask. In the process he creates complex wines that display the best characteristics of their terroirs.

Wines

Lucien Lardy Beaujolais Villages Blanc (Chardonnay) · Profile

After a manual harvest, spontaneous fermentation was carried out at low temperatures. The wine then rested on fine lees for about six months in large, neutral oak casks. A great example of what Chardonnay can deliver if treated with care. No artificial make-up in the form of oak treatments required. Refreshing and delicious.
