The Mâconnais is the soul of Southern Burgundy. It stretches for some forty kilometres from the Côte Chalonnaise to the Solutré rock. Between the Saône and Grosne rivers, valleys and hillsides are home to vineyards. Wines from the Mâcon appellation, whether red or rosé and whether made from Pinot Noir or Gamay noir à jus blanc grapes, are limited to the arrondissement of Mâcon and 11 neighbouring communes. They may also be labelled with the name Mâcon plus the name of their commune of origin.

The appellation is cultivated on 350 ha of red and rosé vines (3800 ha of white vines).

- The soils are predominantly limestone, with some granite outcrops.
- South-east and east facing.
- Gentle to steep slopes.
- Altitude between 100 and 400 metres.

The grapes are destemmed for maximum fruitiness. Maceration and fermentation take place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature (30°C), with punching down of the cap twice a day during alcoholic fermentation and a few pump-overs to extract all the compounds from the grapes. Malolactic fermentation is carried out at 100% to soften the wine and reduce its acidity. In order to obtain fruity aromas, the wine is matured in vats for around 6 months.

Uncertain weather conditions all the year long, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September.

The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.

The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
