The Mâconnais region, located in southern Burgundy, stretches for around 40 kilometres between the Côte Chalonnaise and the Solutré rock. Its vineyards, planted on valleys and hillsides between the Saône and Grosne rivers, produce red and rosé wines from Pinot Noir or Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc grapes. The Mâcon appellation covers 350 hectares for reds and rosés, and 3,800 hectares for whites. It can be supplemented by the name of the commune of origin.

- 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.

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.
