<h1>Domaines et Vins de Propriété - Bourgogne</h1><br>
<h2></h2><br><p><p><h3>ESTATE</h3><br>
<b>The Domaine Gonon is situated on the highest slopes of Vergisson, facing the Rock of Solutré (10 km from Mâcon), made famous by François Mitterand's annual visits. In this Mâconnais domaine, red and white wines are grown alongside one another.
The origins of the Domaine Gonon go far back in time. The first traces of a family ancestor are found during the French revolution when the Château de Pierreclos was captured.
The domaine has been maintained and handed down from one generation of growers to the next, despite the many difficulties encountered over the ages and the onset of a series of new diseases. Phylloxera struck first at the end of the 19th century, devastating the vineyards; this was followed by oidium (powdery mildew), brought over from America and, finally, downy mildew.
The estate was spared during the Great War. But, at the beginning of the Second World War, grandfather Jean was mobilised, leaving his wife Yvonne and son Armand, who was only 12 years old at the time, to run the estate on their own until the end of the conflict.
<br>
<h3>VINE GROWERS</h3><br>
<b>Jean-François Gonon is a young viticulturist fired with ambition. He belongs to the new generation of growers in the commune, whose enthusiasm, perfectionism and up-to-date knowledge are responsible for wines of a lovely quality. Jean-François refuses to systematically treat the vines or to produce excessively high yields.<br>
<h3>WINE MAKING</h3><br>
<b>The estate has a modern, spacious winery.
All the wines are vinified traditionally, using modern techniques and high-quality materials.
For example, a pneumatic press is used so that the grapes are pressed as gently as they were in the times of the Gonon ancestors, when human strength was the only energy used to extract the juices. Stainless steel is widely used in the winery today, for ease of maintenance. Oak barrels are extensively used for ageing the wines.
