The Mâconnais is in the southern part of Burgundy, stretching from Tournus to the southern boundary of Saône-et-Loire.
This vineyard of almost 3,500 hectares specialises in white wines: Mâcon-Villages, Saint-Véran, Pouilly Fuissé and Pouilly-Vinzelles.
The geographical area covers the whole of the Mâcon arrondissement, but there are 43 communes where a specific demarcation defines the Mâcon-Villages appellations. The sheer size of the vineyard, with its variety of soils and microclimates, makes it possible to offer a wide range of Mâcon blancs.
Grapes are gently and slowly pressed in pneumatic presses, then the must is settled at low temperature. Fermentation is in temperature controlled vats so to preserve the freshness and natural fruitiness of the grape. The wine undergoes alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation and then matures for 6 to 8 months on fine lees in stainless steel vats.
