Maison Matisco Macon-Villages 2014

Maison Matisco’s name pays tribute to its historical roots, as the city of Macon was called "Matisco" in the 2nd century BC and functioned as an active river port where boats traveled to and from Rome carrying amphorae of wine.

Today, owners, winemakers and brothers, Richard and Stephane Martin carry on the family business that their father, Maurice, started 50 years ago, founding the family estate, Domaine de la Croix Senaillet in 1969. The winery has been certified organic "Agriculture Biologique", since 2005. In 1992 Richard and Stephane took over, bringing new ideas to the forefront but continuing their father’s work, maintaining the same legacy of passion for Burgundy and Chardonnay that the family has always encompassed.

Maison Matisco is Richard's and Stephane's new venture which has allowed them to broaden their selections and offer Burgundy wines from areas outside of Saint-Veran and Pouilly-Fuisse. This has enabled the introduction of diversity but still ensures the same level of expertise that fans have long become accustomed to. The Martins recognize that in the growing prestige and increased global interest in the white wines of Burgundy, some have a strong preference for specific terroirs or fidelity to a particular style of wine. They have founded Maison Matisco to meet this demand. Quality and consistency are notions that have led their journey so far and will continue to do so, crafting wines that are expressive of their terroir, allowing devotees to buy with confidence.
