Mâcon-Igé
Sous la Roche
A bottle of Mâcon contains a big smile from the south of Burgundy. It has a southern feel to it,
as do the Roman tiles that top the flat roofs…
Origin
After a short interruption south of the Côte Chalonnaise, vineyards reappear around the town of Tournus. This region is a great producer of primarily white wines. One out of three bottles of white Burgundy comes from the Mâconnais!
The lieu-dit "Sous la Roche" is located below a border of rocks overlooking the coast at this point. Late sector, gives wines with a lot of freshness and minerality.
