About Mâcon
Mâcon sits on the Saône at the southern edge of Burgundy, and is the standard launch point for an excursion into the Mâconnais and Beaujolais wine country. The Roche de Solutré, the dramatic limestone outcrop south of the town, gives its name to the Solutrean Palaeolithic culture and to the local Pouilly-Fuissé white. Most operators pair the call with tastings of Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay and Beaujolais Cru wines at a domaine in Pouilly or Fuissé.
