Mâconnais

The Mâconnais is arguably Burgundy’s most dynamic region. Once, only Pouilly-Fuissé stood out from the crowd; today, appellations such as Pouilly-Vinzelles and the newly-created Viré-Clessé are coming alive, while a new generation of growers are producing some excellent Mâcon Villages. Furthermore, one or two growers in each village are making proper, oak-aged, complex and reasonably-concentrated wines which will develop well in bottle.
