  Better know for its edible grapes that taste great when picked straight from the vine in mid October, this cultivar is also grown in Haute Savoie and in Switzerland and used to produce wine. Our specialist growers have told us that its origin is uncertain, but it probably originated from the small Mâcon village that bears its name. It is an indoor grape, but will be quite happy grown outside against a sunny, south-facing wall in a sheltered spot. It is an easy, reliable and high yielding grape.
  
  
• Garden care: When planting incorporate plenty of well-rotted organic matter in to the planting hole. Prune in mid-winter, cutting back to fit the available space, and again in mid-summer if necessary.
