Bourgogne for a Changing World Episode 5: The Mâconnais

The Mâconnais is the most southerly terroir of the Bourgogne wine growing region and where our 5-part series on Bourgogne wines (and the Regional AOCs with a “+” complementary designation) comes to an end. Here, everything you need to know about the Mâcon region, the new Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Crus, and an interview with Olivier Merlin of Domaine du Vieux Saint Sorlin in the village of La Roche Vineuse, referenced in the oldest-known mention of quality chardonnay. Plus, picnics with Hemingway and Neolithic riding of horses up the famed Roche de Solutré.
