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.

In the vineyard
