La Cave d'Azé

La Cave d'Azé – that is Burgundy as it should be: grounded, communal and full of character.
Since 1927, the winemakers around the picturesque triangle between Mâcon, Tournus and Cluny have been making their wines together. What began out of economic necessity is now a lived conviction: together, more is possible. Two experienced oenologists oversee every cuvée – from the juicy Mâcon blanc to the structured Pinot noir from the oak barrel.
The Mâconnais shows itself here from its most beautiful side: gentle hills, diverse soils, clear sense of terroir.

What our customers say
I had not expected that this wine was entirely or partially aged in barrels. I cannot remember having read a note about it. I find the buttery notes from this aging process rather unpleasant - but that is, as always, a matter of taste.
La Cave d'Azé –
Cooperative Burgundy from the Mâconnais
La Cave d'Azé dates back to 1927, when winemakers in the triangle between Mâcon, Tournus and Cluny joined forces – not out of idealism, but out of economic necessity. What began pragmatically then is today one of the most characterful cooperative wineries in southern Burgundy: 45 members contribute their grapes, two experienced oenologists are responsible for the vinification of every single cuvée.
The Mâconnais offers a versatile basis for this: gentle limestone hills, clay-rich soils alternating with gravelly subsoil, a climate that drives Chardonnay to fresh fruit and clear minerality. The Mâcon blanc is juicy and direct, the Pinot noir – aged in oak barrels – with a calm structure and red fruit.
