Located in southern Burgundy, the Mâconnais region spans from Tournus to the southern edge of the Saône-et-Loire department. Its 3,500 hectares of vineyards specialize 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 extent of the vineyards, with their variety of soils and microclimates, means that a wide range of white Mâcon wines can be produced.

The vineyards, on clay-limestone soils, face east on gentle slopes at an average altitude of 300 metres.

The grapes are pressed gently and slowly in pneumatic presses, then the must is settled at low temperature. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats to preserve the freshness and natural fruitiness of the grapes.

The wine undergoes alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation and ageing for 6 to 8 months on fine lees in stainless steel vats.

The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
