Jean Luquet enlarged the estate, and his son Maurice, who set up on his own in 1938, extended it in Pouilly-Fuissé and was the first to export the family's wines, through French embassies abroad. In 1966 Roger Luquet and his wife Renée took over 4.7 hectares, and from 1972 they bottled their whole harvest. The estate grew into Saint-Véran in 1972 and Mâcon-Villages in 1983, reaching 12 hectares in 1992, by which time Roger's children Christine and Patrick had joined. The next generation, Kévin and Loïc, arrived in 2014 and 2016, and in 2017 the Domaine Luquet Roger became the Domaine Luquet Depuis 1878. It now produces some 240,000 bottles a year, 60 per cent of them exported, and has been certified High Environmental Value since 2019. ## What you will see In the cellar in the village, the family pours the range: Pouilly-Fuissé from Fuissé and Solutré-Pouilly, Pouilly-Loché, Saint-Véran, Mâcon-Villages from the Clos de Condemine and from Cortevaix in the Clunisois, Crémant de Bourgogne and a Bourgogne Pinot Noir. Some wines are made in stainless-steel tanks and others in oak barrels, and tasting both shows the difference. The oldest Pouilly-Fuissé vines are more than 55 years old. ## Opening hours and tickets - Opening hours: All year: Monday to Friday, 8:00 to 18:00; Saturday, 10:00 to 18:00 - Booking: Not needed Checked on 8 October 2026 on [the official site](https://www.domaine-luquet.com/domaine/index.php). ## Planning your visit The tasting cellar opens from Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 18:00 and on Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00; according to the Mâcon tourist office, a tasting costs between nothing and €8.
