Saône-et-Loire is the PGI title for wines produced in the administrative department of the same name in Southern Burgundy. The department is best known for its AOC classified Vineyards and villages in the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâcon, but the PGI has yet to relax the winemaking laws for producers. That said, the Grape varieties allowed in the PGI laws are definitely Burgundian. Pinot Noir, Gamay and Chardonnay are joined by the lesser known grapes of Auxerrois, Sauvignon Blanc and Caesar.
However, as most of the department's best vineyard sites are devoted to the production of AOC level wines such as Rully or Mercurey, these wines are not very common. The department is situated between the Loire and the Saône - the former before it flows North to the vineyards of the Loire Valley and the latter before it flows south through Beaujolais to the Rhône. The topography of the region is shaped by these two rivers. Their wide valleys are separated by a hilly plateau in the centre of the department.

Pinot Gris is a grey grape variety mutated from Pinot Noir. It has its origins in Burgundy, where it is called pinot-beurot in reference to the colour of the grey robes worn by the monks of the region. Established in Alsace since the 17th century, pinot gris was called tokay until 2007. It is made up of bunches of small berries that vary in colour from pink to blue-grey. It is particularly well suited to the continental climate because it is resistant to the cold in winter and to spring frosts. This variety also likes dry limestone soils with plenty of sunshine in the summer. Pinot Gris is well suited to late harvesting or to the selection of noble grapes, depending on the year and the concentration of sugars in the berries. Pinot Gris wines are distinguished by their aromatic complexity of white fruits, mushrooms, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, etc., and their great finesse. In the Loire Valley, pinot gris is used in the Coteaux-d'Ancenis appellations. It gives dry or sweet wines with pear and peach aromas.
