The wine region of Mâcon
Vast flagship appellation of the Mâconnais (southern Burgundy): Chardonnay signature as the white king — pale gold with silvery glints, fresh and easy-drinking with notes of apple, pear, peach, apricot, citrus and a signature quince touch, vivid fruit-acidity balance. Gamay and Pinot Noir in supple fruity reds (cassis, blackberry, redcurrant, violet, undergrowth), melted tannins. AOC (1937), ~4,400 ha across 96 communes (Saône-et-Loire), limestone, clay and schist, semi-continental temperate.
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: Red winemaking
Transformation of grapes into must and wine under the effect of alcoholic fermentation. The vinification of red wines takes place in several stages: destemming, crushing, alcoholic fermentation, vatting, running off and maturing.
