The Mâconnais district lies in the south of the Burgundy wine region in France, west of the River Saône. It takes its name from the town of Mâcon. It is best known as a source of good value white wines made from the Chardonnay grape. The wines from Pouilly-Fuissé are particularly sought-after with 22 Premier Cru climats which all benefit from being planted on the Fuissé amphitheatre which gains the best sun and good soil drainage.
