Located in the southern part of France's Bourgogne region, Mâcon is an AOC region known for its exceptional natural conditions. The region's soil, made up of limestone and clay, combined with a warm climate, allows the grapes to reach their ideal maturity, producing high-quality Bourgogne wines with a full-bodied structure and subtle mineral notes. Mâcon wines not only represent 16% of Bourgogne's total production with an annual yield of 30 million bottles but also making it a key wine-producing area in Bourgogne. Moreover, the consistent supply and high quality of Mâcon wines have made them widely available in global markets, catering to a variety of tastes. The region is divided into 27 appellations, each with its own distinct terroir, which contributes to the wines' diverse flavors and complexity. These factors combine to create the signature roundness and fresh fruit aromas of Mâcon wines, which, thanks to their excellent value, remain highly sought after on the international market.

On February 18th, 14 wineries from the Mâcon region visited Singapore and held a wine tasting event at Raffles Hotel. Nearly 140 industry professionals attended the event, where they had the opportunity to taste a selection of white and red wines from Mâcon. The tasting provided participants with a deeper understanding of the region's unique terroir and wine styles. Attendees experienced a wide range of wines, from the fresh, fruit-forward Chardonnay to the light, easy-drinking Gamay reds, gaining a greater appreciation for wines from southern Bourgogne.

From Fresh to Oak-Aged: Exploring the Versatility of Chardonnay

Mâcon is renowned for its exceptional Chardonnay white wines, all crafted from the Chardonnay grape, which accounts for more than 90% of the region's vineyards.

These wines are known for their pale gold to straw gold hues, often with silvery or green highlights. On the nose, Mâcon Chardonnays reveal a complex bouquet of floral aromas, such as broom, white rose, acacia, and honeysuckle, alongside herbal notes of fern, verbena, and lemongrass, complemented by citrus hints of grapefruit and mandarin.

Subtle undertones of pine, quince, and fennel may emerge in the finish. On the palate, the wines display a remarkable range of expressions depending on the terroir, offering fresh, dry, yet fruity profiles with a pleasing roundness, smooth texture, and balanced acidity—qualities that not only enhance their aging potential but also make them highly versatile for food pairings.

Delicate and Refined: Discovering the Allure of Gamay

Unique from other Bourgogne regions, where Pinot Noir predominates in red wine production, Mâcon distinguishes itself by focusing on the Gamay grape. Mâcon’s Gamay wines are known for their fresh, lively flavors, with prominent notes of raspberry and cherry, complemented by hints of spice. Thanks to Gamay’s early ripening characteristics, these red wines are light-bodied, with refreshing acidity and a smooth, rounded texture that makes them highly approachable. The fresh fruit flavors and smooth structure make these wines ideal for drinking young and offer an easy, enjoyable experience. With their vibrant fruitiness and crisp acidity, Mâcon Gamay wines are considered an excellent choice for those new to red wines, providing a rich and accessible tasting experience.
