“Each morning, our buying team tastes through all the wines delivered to our depot the previous day before they hit Majestic stores. As I tasted through the lineup, Definition by Majestic Bourgogne Chardonnay 2023 just stood out. Perfect for drinking right now, with ripe fruit flavours of peach 🍑, pineapple 🍍 and citrus notes 🍋, it has great balance and poise – and is extremely more-ish!”

Majestic has worked with Cave de Lugny for many years now. They’re based in the heart of the Mâconnais in southern Burgundy 🇫🇷 and are one of the region’s most respected co-operatives. Founded in the 1920s, they bring together hundreds of growers across a patchwork of limestone-rich vineyards — the kind of soils Chardonnay really thrives in!
The Mâconnais itself is a slightly warmer part of Burgundy, bringing a riper, more generous fruit profile to the wines. While it might not have the prestige of the Côte d’Or further north, it offers fantastic value for money 💸. Wines from here tend to be open, expressive, and incredibly food-friendly, and this Definition bottling captures all of that.
It’s fresh and precise, with notes of citrus, white peach and a soft touch of hazelnut. Just enough oak adds texture and depth without losing that lovely lift of fruit. A really well-balanced wine that’s easy to enjoy – I love it with creamy chicken dishes or soft cheeses 🧀
A fantastic wine at just £13 when you Mix Any Six or More until 30th June: www.majestic.co.uk/wines/def-by-maj-white-burgundy-64315
