Domaine Mathias

Domaine Mathias is a historic winery located in Chaintré, at the heart of the Mâconnais, the southernmost region of Burgundy. Founded in the 18th century, the estate has been family-run for generations and is now led by Gilles and Samuel Mathias, who uphold tradition with a strong commitment to sustainability and respect for the terroir.

The estate's vineyards thrive on clay-limestone soils, ideal for cultivating Chardonnay, the signature grape of the Mâconnais. However, the domaine also produces excellent red wines from Gamay and Pinot Noir. Certified organic, the winery embraces a philosophy that preserves the vineyard's natural balance, crafting wines that are pure, vibrant, and deeply expressive of their origin.

Domaine Mathias

The estate's most emblematic labels include Mâcon-Chaintré, known for its freshness and aromatic finesse, and Pouilly-Fuissé, which represents the pinnacle of the local terroir with its complexity and structure. In the cellar, traditional methods are followed, including spontaneous fermentations and a measured use of oak, ensuring wines that are both elegant and authentic.

Domaine Mathias is a benchmark for those seeking authentic, environmentally respectful Burgundy wines, blending the wisdom of the past with a modern and sustainable vision.

Burgundy

The pedoclimatic conditions of Burgundy, combined with the special savoir-faire of the vigneron, due to centuries of high-quality agronomic practices, result in a unique terroir. The care and specificity extend in this region to the definition of "climat," recognized by UNESCO. More selective than terroir, it refers to a single vineyard with specific characteristics of soil, climate, exposure, and cultivation methods.

The vineyards of Burgundy stretch for about 250 km from Chablis in the north to the Mâconnais, bordering the Rhône Valley, in the south.

The climate of Burgundy is predominantly continental, with slight maritime influences in the western area and Mediterranean influences in the southernmost part. Winters are cold, with fairly frequent frosts, sometimes even in spring; rainfall is minimal during the vine's budding period but intense between May and June, which can compromise flowering and thus the harvest.

The soil of Burgundy is formed from marine sedimentations mixed with limestone, marl, and clay, with limestone prevailing in the Côte d'Or, from Dijon to Chagny.

Mâconnais

In Burgundy, further south of the Côte Chalonnaise, in the Mâconnais region, mainly white wines are produced, predominantly from Chardonnay grapes. Pinot Noir and Gamay are cultivated to a lesser extent.

The best wines of Mâconnais come from the villages of Mâcon, Pouilly-Fuissé, and Saint-Véran. Mâconnais accounts for 1/4 of the region's production and is known for the excellent quality-to-price ratio of its bottles.

In Mâconnais, there is also a small village called Chardonnay, just like the grape variety, although it is not certain whether the grape was named after the village or vice versa, in honor of the white grape that became the most famous in the world.
In the heart of Mâconnais, land of elegant white wines, Chardonnay reigns supreme.
