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.

- Clay-limestone soils.
- East-facing.
- Gentle slope.
- Altitude: around 300 m.

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.

In summer, the sun appeared to have gone on vacation elsewhere, and the advance gained at the start of the cycle was soon lost. However, despite the wet and chilly weather, maturation began to gather pace at the end of August. The sun returned along with a northerly wind during the first few days of September, providing ideal conditions for optimum ripening and ensuring the grapes remain in good health. The Bourgogne winegrowing region, like France’s other winegrowing regions, experienced a few pockets of sour rot. But this occasional phenomenon was localized and was an exception in an otherwise very healthy year. The harvest began in mid-September, in the sunshine and in good humor. The grapes brought into the wineries were ripe, healthy and aromatic, and promising wonderful cuvées…
