The grapes come exclusively from Chardonnay, the famous village in the Mâconnais that is historically strongly associated with the grape. Why is this wine called Le Chardonnay de Chardonnay? Because it comes entirely from the village of Chardonnay, and is thus very emphatically built on origin and a sense of place. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14jexaw\" data-start=\"588\" data-end=\"611\"\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"613\" data-end=\"748\"\u003eHere, everything revolves around a small origin that says more than a broad Burgundy designation alone. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"750\" data-end=\"1731\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1xb2jpt\" data-start=\"750\" data-end=\"982\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"752\" data-end=\"775\"\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wine comes from the village of Chardonnay in the Mâconnais, in the south of Burgundy.
