Between Tournus and Mâcon, northern France becomes southern France. In the Middle Ages, the linguistic border between the langue d’Oil, spoken in the north, and the langue d’Oc, spoken in the south, passed through here. The land of the poet Lamartine is watered by the Saône and composed of an undulating landscape. The Mâconnais region forms a rectangle measuring 50 kilometres from north to south with a width of approximately 15 kilometres. Vines flourish in its warmest areas at altitudes of between 220 and 400 metres. In the Pouilly region of production, two limestone spurs, Solutré and Vergisson, give an unexpected thrust to the landscape. At the base of the Solutré Rock, which was inhabited 35,000 years BC, archaeological digs have revealed a pile of horse bones covering a two-metre-deep surface area of almost 4 hectares. The Pouilly-Fuissé AOC was created in 1936.
