Domaine Petit Bouchon – Lucie 2021

This is a very expressive Alsace Chardonnay, soft, bright, and full of energy. Crafted in Alsace by Vincent Larcelet, this wine reflects years of experience under Jura masters like Jean-François Ganevat. The result is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay that bridges elegance with character.

Pressed directly and aged on fine lees in 600L barrels, Lucie reveals delicate floral aromas of jasmine and orange blossom. On the palate, it’s fresh and lively, with zesty, slightly bitter acidity that brings structure and complexity. Think Jura-style Chardonnay, but with a gentler touch – notes of lemon zest, ripe pear, and almond add nuance and depth.
