Château de la Greffière

Located in La Roche Vineuse, the Château de la Greffière estate has been an integral part of the historic producers of the Mâconnais region since 1585. 

Today, the fourth generation of the family manages Château de la Greffière using traditional methods and with respect for the terroir. 

Xavier GREUZARD and Gaylord PETRILLO currently co-manage the estate with high standards and precision in their work. With modern tools at their disposal, common sense farming practices are the guiding principle behind the care given to the vines and their terroirs. Flourishing vines produce healthy, high-quality grapes, allowing their aromatic identity to be brought out through gentle, simplified winemaking techniques. With 60 hectares in production, the estate has access to a wide variety of styles. 

This very hilly region in southern Burgundy is home to various appellations such as "Burgundy Aligoté" and "Mâcon La Roche-Vineuse." Château de la Greffière works with the four Burgundy grape varieties: Chardonnay and Aligoté for whites, and Pinot Noir and Gamay for reds. These were not planted by chance, as they are well suited to producing high-quality wines on the estate's prized terroirs. As proven by the various AOCs in the region, these grape varieties develop their characteristics and offer a range of wines that are as diverse as they are elegant, such as "Bourgogne" and "Saint Véran." Thanks to its privileged geographical location, Château de la Greffière offers no less than eight appellations.

Passionate about Gamay, the managers of Château de la Greffière were delighted to expand the estate in early 2019 into the Beaujolais region with Saint Amour, where they aim to become ambassadors for this magnificent vintage.
