Mâcon Villages
The Vineyard
Mâcon-Villages is made from Chardonnay grapes. The vineyards from the Cellar of the Winemakers of Buxy are located mainly on the two mountain sides of the Grosne river valley, between Saint-Gengoux-le-National and Cluny. The particularity of the Mâcon vineyards lies in the diversity of its soils and exposure to sun. Its grapes come from calcareous soils with high limestone content. The grapes are grown mostly on brown limestone soils, which favour the chardonnay grape variety.
