PRESENTATION
Located west of the longest limestone secondary mountain ranges that
stretches from Tournus in the north to Fuissé in the south, the vineyards
of Milly-Lamartine occupy the westernmost slopes of the Mâconnais'
vineyards. It is unique in that it is influenced by the coolness of the higher
altitudes of the Haut-Mâconnais, of between 290 and nearly 400 m.
The vines grown in a diversity of soil types (limestone, clay, marls)
depending on the plots. Exposure varies too, ranging from northeast
where it is cooler to southwest where the vines are more exposed to the
sun.
The name "Lamartine" was added to the name of the village of Milly in
1902 in honour of the famous poet, Alphonse de Lamartine, who was
mayor of the village and owned an estate here.
