The wines of Mâconnais

A multifaceted regional designation

The Mâconnais region covers nearly 5,000 hectares and encompasses several appellations:

  • Mâcon : regional appellation that can produce white, red and rosé wines.
  • Mâcon-Villages : only white, higher quality, often more mineral.
  • Mâcon + name of commune : Mâcon-Lugny, Mâcon-Charnay-lès-Mâcon, Mâcon-Uchizy, etc., which highlight the specific terroirs.
  • Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Fuissé, Pouilly-Loché, Pouilly-Vinzelles : highly sought-after communal appellations of the southern Mâconnais.

This diversity allows amateurs and connoisseurs alike to discover a wide range of styles and nuances , always imbued with elegance and freshness.

Chardonnay: purity, fruitiness and finesse

In the Mâconnais region, Chardonnay reigns supreme. It produces dry, fruity, balanced, and easy-drinking wines. The dominant aromas evoke white flowers, white-fleshed fruits, and citrus , sometimes with hints of hazelnut or honey. Some estates age their wines in oak barrels, adding woody and toasty notes while preserving the expression of the terroir. The best Mâconnais wines offer immediate enjoyment or excellent aging potential .

Discreet but interesting red and rosé wines

Although the region is best known for its white wines, some red (made from Pinot Noir or Gamay) and rosé wines are also produced. The reds are supple and fruity, with aromas of cherry and raspberry, perfect for simple, convivial meals. The rosés, fresh and tangy, are ideal for relaxed summer drinking.

Food and wine pairings

The white wines of the Mâconnais region pair perfectly with seafood, grilled fish, goat cheeses (including Mâconnais AOP), poultry in cream sauce, or roasted vegetables . The reds are ideal for accompanying fine charcuterie, white meat dishes, quiches, or gratins . The rosés, meanwhile, are perfect for aperitifs, barbecues, or light meals .
