Grape varietals

Chardonnay is the grape variety for white Mâcon-Villages.

Origins

It is the southern part of Burgundy, stretching from Tournus to the southern border of Saône et Loire. These vines cover nearly 3,500 hectares and are dedicated to the production of white wines such as Mâcon-Villages, Saint-Véran, Pouilly Fuissé and Pouilly Vinzelles.

The area covers the entire Mâcon area. There are 43 communes with specific demarcation that define the Mâcon-Villages appellations. The vines cover a wide area in terms of soil variety and microclimates, offering the white Mâcon wines a wide palette. 200,000 hectolitres are produced every year.

This white Mâcon-Villages comes from vines located for the main part in Grevilly and Cruzille. Most of these vines are over 35 years old.
