Mâcon-Igé belongs to the regional appellation Mâcon from the Mâconnais vineyard , that spreads on 3,865 hectares at an altitude varying between 100 and 400 meters above the sea level on brown limestone or calcic soils ; both shallow and deep, clayey or sandy, often mixed with silex pebbles (called chailles).

“La Gripeaude” is  made from Gamay grapes, from a vineyard planted on east-facing slopes with a marly sub-soil at an altitude of 300 metres. The vineyard is 2,64 hectares in size, and the harvest yield is 60 hl of wine per hectare.
