Mâconnais Wines
SINCE 1929
Our small size: a strength!
The Mancey Winegrowers are spread over 120 hectares of vines (about ten communes) around Mancey, a few kilometres from Tournus and the Saône. The production of about fifty winegrowers is thus brought together, with a vinification of the Burgundian grape varieties: chardonnay, pinot noir, aligoté and gamay.
A few words about our philosophy:
Our small size is a real asset as it allows us to vinify a large number of small cuvées separately. Thus we claim the names of domaines of winegrowers with large areas of vines with various cultivation techniques (some will plough, others grass their vines, etc.). As a result, we have very varied results, whether it be on the chardonnay, pinot noir or gamay grape varieties, these grape varieties express themselves differently according to these methods and soils. Our job is therefore to highlight these terroirs and skills. It is a work of art that could be compared to haute couture.

Les Essentielles : Cuvées of old vines
The oldest vines (aged between 45 and 70 years) of our different winegrowers are brought together in these cuvées to produce this range of rich, full-bodied wines. The nose is both complex, fruity and spicy, and the palate is round and full of a beautiful persistence. Their strength means that they will go well with rich dishes such as poultry in cream sauce, snails in parsley sauce or mature Comté cheese for the whites, and paellas, red meats in sauce or soft cheeses for the reds.
Storage: 3 to 6 years
Details of appellations: white Mâcon-Mancey 100% Chardonnay, red Mâcon-Mancey 100% Gamay, red Bourgogne 100% Pinot Noir (barrel ageing 100% new barrels).
OUR PRODUCTION
Abbatia : prestige cuvées
The wines come from the best plots in the village of Mancey on south-east facing slopes. Their structure is rich and ample, with a fine woody and vanilla nose due to their ageing in oak barrels. The white wines are round and fat, while the reds have well-melted, supple tannins.
These wines will be suitable for dishes such as salmon tartar, scallops or a fillet of pikeperch with beurre blanc for the white wine.
For the reds, they will go well with a duck breast, a fine rib of beef or even game in sauce.
The Crémant de Bourgogne is finely wooded with a light and elegant bubble, its floral notes and its hint of vivacity give it a very nice balance in the mouth. To be enjoyed as an aperitif or with dessert.
Storage: 4 to 7 years, 2 years maximum for Crémant.
Details of appellations: white Mâcon-Mancey 100% Chardonnay, red Mâcon-Mancey 100% Gamay, red Bourgogne 100% Pinot Noir. Crémant de Bourgogne 100% Chardonnay vintage.

Royer
D o m a i n e D u p r é
Red wines with ripe fruit aromas have a nice roundness with light tannins. They are perfect as an aperitif for red wine lovers (Mâcon), with a fine rib of beef or mature cheeses (red Burgundy).
These dry white wines harmoniously blend aromas of citrus, lime and verbena with a few notes of white flowers.
On the palate, they are fruity, lively and tonic.
Unprecedented: in 2018, Jean-Baptiste Dupré decided to plant white Sauvignon on an 80-acre plot in the village of Royer, which would give rise to the So Différent range of white and sparkling wines under the Saône-et-Loire PGI.
They will reveal all their freshness as an aperitif, with seafood such as mussels, fish, white meats, delicatessen dishes or even with fresh goat cheese.
You can also dare with sushi, sashimi, or more “exotic” dishes, based on curry, saffron or Thai spices.

The reds are full-bodied with a nose of black fruits and spices. The tannins are supple and elegant but the structure remains robust. They are perfect with duck or lamb and even some chocolate desserts.
Wines of strong character with a good length on the palate, the white Mâcon-Villages is characterised by its minerality and freshness, whereas the Mâcon-Mancey is rounder and fuller. They go equally well with oysters (Bourgogne aligoté), mussels (Mâcon-Villages), smoked salmon or scallops (Mâcon-Mancey).
Crémant de Bourgogne Extra Brut has a very low sugar content, which gives it an exceptional purity of taste. The finesse of the bubbles contributes to the beautiful balance on the palate. It can be drunk as an aperitif or with a fruit dessert.
