Origin

The Mâconnais is in the southern part of Burgundy, stretching from Tournus to the southern boundary of Saône-et-Loire.

This vineyard of almost 3,500 hectares specialises 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 sheer size of the vineyard, with its variety of soils and microclimates, makes it possible to offer a wide range of Mâcon blancs.

Vinification and maturing

Grapes are gently and slowly pressed in pneumatic presses, then the must is settled at low temperature. Fermentation is in temperature controlled vats so to preserve the freshness and natural fruitiness of the grape. The wine undergoes alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation and then matures for 6 to 8 months on fine lees in stainless steel vats.

Vintage : 2022

The weather conditions were uncertain all the year long, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.

The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
