The wine region of Mâcon-Chaintré
Mâcon village appellation in the southern Mâconnais (Chaintré, Chânes, Crêches-sur-Saône) on the border of Saint-Véran and Pouilly-Fuissé: 100% Chardonnay. Brilliant golden robe, nose of citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and delicate white flowers (almond, rose) — signature aromatic complexity. Round and fresh palate typical of the southern Mâconnais, accessible and harmonious. Gentle east-facing slopes at 180–218 m, quaternary gravel-clay formations over deep alluvials.
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: Aging
Period during which a wine is kept in a cellar where it goes through different phases of evolution of its aromatic range and a maturation of its constituents (evolution of the colour, refining of the tannins, harmonization of the different flavours, etc.). The wine evolves better and less quickly in large containers, whereas it deteriorates prematurely in half-bottles.
