The wine region of Mâcon Supérieur
Former AOC of the Mâconnais (1943, 91 communes Saône-et-Loire) merged into Mâcon and Mâcon-Villages in 2005: a riper expression of Mâcon with higher alcohol. Chardonnay in whites (acacia, honeysuckle, citrus, almond), Gamay in fresh fruity reds and rosés, secondary Pinot Noir. Clay-limestone slopes between Tournus and Mâcon, semi-continental temperate climate, south-east exposure. Accessible, straightforward profiles, a quality alternative to drink young.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Effervescent
Any wine loaded with CO2 (carbon dioxide), which is revealed in the form of bubbles, reinforcing the freshness effect in the mouth. This gas production is the result of what is called the second fermentation in the bottle. It occurs in champagnes and sparkling wines such as crémants.
