The first vines may have been planted in Burgundy by the Romans, but it\u2019s thanks to the work by the monks at the powerful Cluny Abbey nearby that wine-growing began to thrive in the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n
The soft, rolling hills of the M\u00e2connais are dominated by a few monumental outcrops of rock, the largest of which are the Roche de Solutr\u00e9 and the Roche de Vergisson. These ancient, coral-based massifs were thrust out of the earth during the formation of the Alpine ridge in the Tertiary Period. Under the gaze of these outcrops, the vines grow on a benevolent and endlessly varied landscape. With the cooling rivers and the alternating strata of vines and marshland, the morning fog in the depths of the valleys and the multitude of ways the sun strikes the slopes, the M\u00e2connais has one of the most interesting panoramas of any wine region in Burgundy. Each of the infinite nuances in our rich landscape is reflected in the superb white wines produced here.<\/p>\n<\/div>
