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: Old vines
There are no specific regulations governing the term "vieilles vignes". After 20 to 25 years, the yields stabilize and tend to decrease, the vines are deeply rooted, and the grapes that come from them give richer, more concentrated, more sappy wines, expressing with more nuance the characteristics of their terroir. It is possible to find plots of vines that claim to be a century old.
