Domaine Gaillard — Winery in Davayé

In Davayé, in the south of the Mâconnais, Roger Gaillard started out in 1981 with a single hectare of Pouilly-Fuissé. His son Romain joined in 2015, and the domaine now covers 11 hectares. It is a true family business: Roger, Romain and Véronique Gaillard welcome visitors themselves. The range includes Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Fuissé, Mâcon-Villages, Mâcon Charnay and Crémant de Bourgogne, and the Guide Hachette rates, among others, the Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru Au Vignerais.

You can taste the wines in the stone tasting cellar, and there are also tours of the vineyards and the cellar, in English if you wish. It is also an ideal place to stock up on good Chardonnay at reasonable prices when you're passing through. A lovely stop on a wine trip through southern Burgundy.
