Presentation
Located in Vergisson, in the heart of Mâconnais, Domaine Jean-François Gonon perpetuates a family know-how transmitted for five generations. Settled on the estate in 1991, Jean-François Gonon now cultivates 15 hectares of vines, covering the main appellations of the region: Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, Mâcon blanc and rouge, Bourgogne blanc and rouge. The estate takes pride in respecting the limestone soils and the natural balance of the vineyard, favoring reasoned viticulture and precise vinifications. Aging on fine lees gives the whites beautiful aromatic depth and a full mouthfeel, marked by a pronounced minerality. The estate's wines offer a pure expression of Chardonnay and Gamay, revealing all the richness of the Mâconnais terroir with remarkable freshness.
Location
This cuvée is produced from several vineyard plots.
Terroir
Shallow, stony clay-limestone soils.
In the vineyard
Our estate is deeply committed to environmental sustainability. Vine treatments are applied only when strictly necessary and always after careful observation. Grass is grown between the rows to help regulate yields naturally. This reduces the vigor of the vines, promoting better ripening of the grapes.
Winemaking
Whole bunch pressing. 24-hour settling followed by spontaneous fermentation. Vinification and ageing are carried out without any additives up to bottling.
Ageing
Aged in barrels that have previously held 2 to 5 wines (second to fifth fill), offering gentle oak influence without overpowering the wine.

Chardonnay : 100%
