Clinging to the limestone slopes of Pierreclos, in the extreme south of Burgundy's Mâconnais terroir, the Coteaux des Margots estate has maintained an unbroken family spirit and a tradition of first-rate winemaking, rewarded by a citation in the 2023 RVF Green Guide. 

The Duroussay family is rigorous and energetic in its day-to-day work, and it's in this family atmosphere that fine, delicate white wines are born, as exemplified by this Mâcon-Pierreclos with its incredible price-pleasure ratio.
