Marcel Couturier is a new name to the Macon roster having only commenced producing his own wine for the first time in 2005.

Low yields, exceptional vineyard management and barrel fermentation (since 2006) produce wines that are not only impressive not only in concentration but also complexity. Within a region that is dominated by mediocre co-operatives, it is this type of passion and determination that helps establish the Maconnais as a world class wine region.Read less
Region
Mâcon Loché
Part of the Macon Villages appellation (the third and final hierarchical appellation following Macon and Macon Supérieur) which is able to add its village name to the general area appellation. Shared with Pouilly, Loché is an area of varied and complex soils which in the right hands can produce equally compelling and complex wine.
