Insights:
Chardonnay accounts for about two-thirds of all the Mâconnais wines, with the reds related to the Gamay grape. The region is quite small with in total ca. 700 hectares. Not to confuse the wine with the village of Saint-Véran, in the French Alps, close to the Italian border. Blason de Bourgogne is an association of ca. 800 Burgundy families of growers, having a profit sharing, resulting in protecting the heritage, authentic craftmanship, as well as having social benefits, ultimately allowing families to continue to sustain their business, growing wines from generation to generation.
