During the day, we focused on the wines of Chablis, with 2 visits of top Chablis producer: Domaine Séguinot-Bordet in Maligny and Domaine Jean Marc Brocard in Préhy(where we also had lunch). We then drove all the way to the southern tip of the Bourgogne proper (i.e. without Beaujolais) to spend a night and have dinner at the Hostellerie Chateau de la Barge in Creches-sur-Saone.

I am not sure if the Hostellerie Chateau de la Barge in Creches-sur-Saone is located inside of the Maconnais or already in the Beaujolais. Well, still Bourgogne in a broader sense. But while the Beaujolais officially is one of the sub-regions of the Bourgogne, many – in particular in the non-Beaujolais Bourgogne - consider Beaujolais as an independent region and not as a part of the Bourgogne.
Anyway, when you drive through the region, it is impossible to say whether you are in the Maconnais (in the Bourgogne) or in the Beaujolais. In fact, some winemakers in the area make both Maconnais and Beaujolais wines. They sell the white Chardonnay as Maconnais and the red Gamey as Beaujolais.

Les inspecteurs du guide MICHELIN: Les deux chefs de cet élégant restaurant se mettent en quatre pour interpréter les classiques de la gastronomie du terroir. Au menu par exemple: tarte fine aux escargots ail et persil, risotto de homard, gaufrettes mâconnaises... et un beau choix de pouilly-fuissé.

Tripadvisor: Very pretty chateau hotel in a park set in the lovely Burgundian countryside - peaceful except for the TGV which runs about 500 yds away. Reasonable room with a fridge and A/C, very clean with maid service twice a day. We ate all our meals on the terrace which was beautifully arranged under shady canopies. The food was first class - lots of little extras like amuse bouches etc, well cooked and well presented. The staff were extremely professional, swift and helpful, despite the restaurant being very busy and obviously popular with locals. Nice pool, where there was also waiter service. Also nice to have a lift when heavy suitcases are involved. We stayed 2 nights and plan to come back next year, perhaps for longer.
Trip advisor: Situated in the heart of the vineyards about a 10 minute drive from the center of Macon and just off of the A6, this is a small but excellent hotel giving outstanding value for money. A group of us stayed at Chateau de la Barge for 2 nights. This was our second visit. And it just gets better each time. The owners and their staff are welcoming and very helpful. The restaurant serves excellent food at very reasonable prices, there is a great selection of locally produced wine. Rooms are very comfortable and well decorated. The breakfast selection is outstanding and includes homemade jams. We travel to Bourgogne each year to buy wine and this will be our base for future trips.

We had a wonderful dinner. Annette and I paired the dinner with a Pouilly-Fuissé and a Julienas, both from the region.
