Decoding the Mâconnais

Calibrate your palate alongside Napa Valley Wine Academy’s Premier Crew.
This exclusive tasting kit is custom-curated for the upcoming live Tasting Lab on August 13, 2026: Decoding the Mâconnais: Mapping Terroir Across Mâcon Geographical Denominations.

Designed specifically for serious wine students and Premier Crew members, this lineup moves past generic regional labels to explore the fascinating terroirs of the southern Burgundy. By focusing on the Mâcon plus geographical denominations, this kit delivers a masterclass in regional precision, structural calibration, and exceptional value.

Each kit contains a pristine 100ml sample of the following four wines, rebottled using Small Lot’s precise preservation technology to ensure they arrive tasting exactly as the winemakers intended:

• Mâcon Chardonnay Les Jeandières, Blanc, 2023, Domaine Giroud | Calibrate your palate to pure, expressive cool-to-moderate climate Chardonnay characteristics from a dedicated single-estate profile.

• Mâcon Igé Château London, Blanc, 2022, Prosper Maufoux | Evaluate the texture and evolution of the 2022 vintage from a historic vineyard site noted for its exceptional structure.

• Mâcon Milly Lamartine Clos du Four, Blanc, 2023, Vignerons des Terres Secrètes | Identify the distinct, razor-sharp mineral markers and crisp acidity typical of this highly respected village denomination.

• Mâcon Fuissé Les Perrières, Blanc, 2023, Domaine Sophie Cinier | Contrast the leaner styles with this rich, texturally complex expression from the immediate neighbor of Pouilly-Fuissé.
