Mâconnais
Overview of the appellations in the Mâconnais
The Mâconnais is located in the southern part of Burgundy and is famous for its fresh, fruity Chardonnays and a few light red Gamays. The region has regional, village and some Premier Cru levels.
✅ 1. Regional appellations
These can be produced throughout the Mâconnais:
- Mâcon (white, red, rosé)
- Mâcon-Villages (white only)
👉 Mâcon may appear with or without a village name, depending on the plot and wine style.
🏡 2. Village appellations
More specific per village; only white, except for Mâcon plus village, which can also be red or rosé.
- Pouilly-Fuissé
- Pouilly-Loché
- Pouilly-Vinzelles
- Saint-Véran
- Viré-Clessé
👉 These five are village AOCs that produce only white wines.
In addition, there are Mâcon + village variants:
In total, 27 villages may add their name to Mâcon, for example:
- Mâcon-Solutré-Pouilly
- Mâcon-Fuissé
- Mâcon-Vinzelles
- Mâcon-Igé
- Mâcon-Lugny
- Mâcon-Pierreclos
- Mâcon-Bussières
- Mâcon-Prissé
- Mâcon-Charnay-lès-Mâcon
- ... and so on.
There are 27 authorised villages. These villages often produce white, red and sometimes rosé under their own village name.
🏅 3. Premier Cru
Since 2020, Pouilly-Fuissé is the first (and so far only) appellation within the Mâconnais to have official Premier Cru vineyards:
- 22 Premier Cru climats within Pouilly-Fuissé.
Examples:
- Le Clos
- Les Ménétrières
- Les Vignes Blanches
- etc.
Other villages such as Saint-Véran and Viré-Clessé are also working towards Premier Cru status, but these have not yet been officially granted.
