The wine region of Mâconnais
Southern Burgundy between Tournus and Saint-Vérand, semi-continental climate with southern influences. Chardonnay signature as king white (~85%): round and sunny with notes of yellow apple, pear, candied citrus, white flowers, hazelnut butter and a limestone mineral touch — exceptional value. Pouilly-Fuissé at the peak (Premier Cru since 2020) with power and ageing, more taut Saint-Véran and Viré-Clessé, accessible Mâcon-Villages. Supple Gamay and fine Pinot Noir as complement.
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).

Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
