Jean-François Gonon took over from his father in 1991 and represents the 5th generation of winemaking in his family. There are 14ha of vines, 8ha of Mâcon and 6 of Pouilly-Fuissé. Located in the Vergisson commune, in the southern end of the Mâconnais, the vines are at the foot of the famous limestone escarpment, Roche de Solutré. It is cool here, and the vine yields are restricted to help the grapes to ripen fully. Here is Mâcon Chardonnay bursting with ripe stone fruit and a sleek, unique minerality typical of the Bussières soils. Utterly refreshing on the finish.

Tasting Notes: An elegant profile recalling spring flowers like acacia or wild white rose, and the juice of autumn fruit like pear. More complex aromas evoking spices like aniseed are gradually revealed. Vigorous and lively on the attack, underscoring this sophisticated feel, procuring a fairly long and indulgent finish.

Varietal: Chardonnay

Region: Maconnais, Burgundy, France
