The Mâcon AOC is located in the south of Burgundy and covers nearly 4,000 hectares, planted with Chardonnay for over 90%. 27 villages are authorized to produce Mâcon-Villages, specifying their name on the bottle. Excellent white winesare produced here, generally showing a rich and indulgent profile and displaying a sunnier character compared to those produced in the north of the region. The terroir is clay-limestone but more siliceous soils also allow the Pinot Noir and Gamay grape varieties to thrive in the southern part of the appellation. Most of the wines produced are intended to be enjoyed within three to five years.
