Mâcon-Villages

Located in southern Burgundy, the Mâconnais region spans from Tournus to the southern edge of the Saône-et-Loire department. Its 3,500 hectares of vineyards specialize in white wines: Mâcon-Villages, Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Fuissé, and Pouilly-Vinzelles.

Wine Production

The grapes are pressed gently and slowly in pneumatic presses, then the must is settled at low temperature. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats with selcted yeast to preserve the freshness and natural fruitiness of the grapes.

Tasting Notes

Floral and fruity aromas, with hints of lemon, mint and honeysuckle. Exotic and spicy aromas. Balanced in the mouth, with herbaceous and floral overtones. This wine is light, charming and fresh. It seduces with its spontaneity and tenderness.

Food Pairing

Perfect with fried smelt tapas, poultry and white meats, snails, grilled tofu, bouchées à la reine, grilled cutlets, white pudding, andouillettes, red peppers in vinaigrette and cheeses (dried goat's cheese, Bleu de Bresse).
