“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. The same wines, produced using environmentally friendly farming methods, which are evocative of the hard-working co-operative-winemaker families who give their all, and have done so for generations.
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.
