Tags: Wine Region.

The Mâconnais district is located in the south of the Burgundy wine region in France west of the Saône river. 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. Almost all the wine made in the Mâconnais is white wine. Chardonnay is the main grape grown in the district—in fact there is a village of that name in the far north of the region.
