Wines of Mâcon in Mâconnais wine region of Burgundy, France
About Wines from Mâcon Valley of France
Macon Wine
Macon is the generic appellation for red, white and rose wines from the Maconnais region in southern Burgundy. In contrast to location-specific appellations like Pouilly-Fuisse, Macon wines come from all over the Maconnais, and are representative of a particular style and quality rather than of a particular terroir.
A number of communes within the appellation’s catchment have been recognized as sources of higher quality wines, and may append their name to that of the appellation on their labels. The best known of these is probably Macon Lugny. While all of these communes may use their name on white wine labels, only two-thirds of them produce red and rose of sufficient quality to earn this privilege.
Macon has historically been more famous for its red wines, but over the 20th century, white wine production accelerated dramatically in the region, and now represents the large majority of Maconnais wines. These are produced exclusively from the quintessential Burgundian variety Chardonnay.
Red wines sold under the Macon appellation may be made from either Pinot Noir or Gamay. Those made from Pinot Noir may also be sold under the more prestigious Bourgogne AC appellation, and consequently most red Macon wine is actually made from Gamay. This is not the case for rose Macon wines, which might be made from either variety, or a combination of both.
Macon-Villages is a title reserved for white wines, while Primeur and Nouveau are suffixes which may be added to fresh-styled rose and white wines released shortly after harvest. To be exact, the law stipulates that these wines may be released thirty-eight days before the third Thursday of November in the year of harvest. The term Superieur may be added to the titles of red or white Macon wines, denoting that they contain a slightly higher alcohol level, brought about by specific quality-focused production techniques.
