Domaine Sylvaine et Alain Normand
Sylvaine and Alain Normand produce the most natural wines in La Roche Vineuse with respect for the terroir and a focus on sustainability. In their modern cellar, inspired by the iconic rocks of the Mâconnais, they passionately create renowned wines such as Pouilly-Fuissé and Mâcon La Roche Vineuse. They strive for harmony with nature by applying environmentally friendly methods and promoting biodiversity.
History
Originally from Nièvre, Alain Normand settled in Mâconnais in 1993 on the head of 13 hectares. In 2010, the estate expanded considerably with the arrival of Sylvaine and a few hectares of her family. Today, there are 35 hectares of vineyards spread over Solutré, Chaintré, Prissé, Igé and La Roche Vineuse. Together, our winegrower couple set themselves the goal of developing the estate by combining their expertise and know-how, honed over the years. From this objective, a vision was born, namely to conquer new markets while respecting the environment in which they operate.
Wine growing
Respect for the terroir, careful control of production and the development of the most natural wines on the lees are central. The aim is not to dominate nature, but to accompany it, so that it can optimally ripen its fruits.
With dedication and passion, Sylvaine and Alain Normand produce the best white and red wines from the Mâconnais region, including Pouilly-Fuissé, Mâcon La Roche Vineuse and Bourgogne, from their modern wine cellar at La Roche Vineuse.
The cellar, inspired by the five iconic rocks of the Mâconnais, has been designed as a tribute to the surrounding heritage and the villages where the estate's wines originate.
Sustainable production
When we treat the vine with respect, it rewards us abundantly. Over the years, the estate has refined its methods to optimize the flowering of the bunches, resulting in the richest and most generous juices. Sylvaine and Alain Normand are also committed to using exclusively environmentally friendly products. In viticulture, they use raw materials of natural origin and promote the natural balance between different species. Their goal is to encourage healthy soil life and preserve biodiversity, contributing to a sustainable and harmonious ecosystem.
