“La Burgondie” was the historical region of France that gave rise to the term Burgundy. The legendary little knight character that appears on the bottles truly captures the essence of La Burgondie. Courageous, confident and loyal. A forward-thinking, like-minded group of individuals who are fiercely proud of their Burgundian roots, their beautiful region and their wines.

We find the Côte Chalonnaise in the very heart of Burgundy; the vineyards continue the natural line of the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. Organized into small individual villages, the regional appellation “Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise” brings together 44 different communes, it embodies both
white wines made from Chardonnay and red wines from Pinot Noir.

The grapes for the elaboration of Crémant de Bourgogne come from different terroirs within the Burgundy vineyards. The plots dedicated to sparkling wines include mostly Pinot Noir – along with Chardonnay and Gamay.

The Mâconnais hills form a set of inclines separated by parallel faults and facing north/north-east or south/south-west. Chardonnay wines for cellaring come from brown limestone or chalky soils and rendzine terrains. The siliceous, clay or sandy soils, often mixed with flat sandstone pebbles, favour the earlier drinking Chardonnay.
In this part of southern Burgundy, the vines form a part of a busy landscape of little hills and valleys that look as though they have been painted in water colours. This charming landscape was celebrated by the poet Lamartine, one of its native sons. The town of Mâcon maintains very close connections with this serene, cheerful, vineyard landscape and its traditions. White wines from Mâcon have been AOC accredited since 1937 and those grown in the arrondissement of Mâcon and its 11 adjacent communes are entitled to the appellation Mâcon-Villages.

The vines grow at altitudes between 230 and 320 meters in limestone-marl soils on slopes facing the midday sun. Mercurey benefits from cooler climatic conditions than the Côte de Beaune, thus ripening is later but cellaring potential is very good.
