Origin

Regional appellation of the Mâconnais wine-growing district (dept. of Saône-et-Loire) in the South of Burgundy. Grapes are harvested in Lugny commune.

The word VILLAGES or the name of the commune of origin, just as LUGNY here, may only be added to the word MÂCON for wines harvested within the defined area of the MÂCON-VILLAGES appellation consisting of 26 named communes and grouped together.

The terroir in the Mâconnais is quite different than that of Burgundy’s northern regions. Here it is clay, silica or granite-based.

It is particularly because of these differences in terroir that the wines made from the Chardonnay grapes harvested in this region have a mineral freshness about them that is a delight for those who like a change from the warmer more honeyed flavoured white wines of the Côte d’Or just north of the Mâconnais.

Vinification and maturing

Grapes are gently and slowly pressed in pneumatic presses, then the must is settled at low temperature. Fermentation is in temperature controlled vats so to preserve the freshness and natural fruitiness of the grape. The wine undergoes alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation and then matures for 6 to 8 months on fine lees in stainless steel vats.

Vintage : 2025

The 2025 vintage was shaped by pronounced climatic contrasts. A spring rich in rainfall helped build essential water reserves, while the particularly hot summer accelerated the vine’s growth cycle. This combination led to an early harvest, carried out with precision to preserve the grapes’ natural balance.

Picked from mid‑August onward, the crop stood out for its impeccable health and perfectly controlled ripeness. Fermentations unfolded smoothly, allowing for a pure and precise expression of the grape variety.

The 2025 Grande Sélection Pinot Noir embodies a demanding vintage, where mastering ripeness and honoring the fruit were key to revealing a wine of great accuracy, combining concentration, freshness, and harmony.
