Situation géographique et terroir
The history of Igé is inseparable from that of the hamlet of Domange, whose original parish center is the church of Saint-Pierre, built around 953 by the monks of Cluny. The vineyards of the Mâcon-Igé appellation adjoin Azé to the north and Verzé to the south, where the landscape widens into a vast elongated basin. The subsoil here is made up of Upper Jurassic limestone.

Vinification
Immediately after the harvest, the grapes are pressed in whole bunches in a pneumatic press, then we carry out a static settling of the juice for 24 hours at 12°C. The musts are then put in vats directly, the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, as well as the maturation, are carried out in vats and barrels.
Lightly toasted so-called blonde, 20% new barrels
