The estate:

Alain Normand, originally from Nièvre, settled in the Mâconnais in 1993 on 13 hectares of vineyards. In 2010, the estate expanded with the arrival of Sylvaine and several hectares belonging to her family, bringing the total area to 35 hectares in Solutré, Chaintré, Prissé, Igé, and La Roche Vineuse. Together, they strive to further develop the estate by combining their expertise and experience. Their vision focuses on conquering new markets, while respecting the environment and the terroir. The goal is not to control nature, but to guide it so that it can contribute optimally to wine production.


With dedication, Sylvaine and Alain produce the best white and red wines from the Mâconnais, including Pouilly-Fuissé, Mâcon La Roche Vineuse, and Bourgogne, from their modern cellar, which is inspired by the region's five iconic rocks. They strive to treat the vines with respect, resulting in rich and generous juices. In addition, they are committed to environmentally friendly practices, use natural raw materials, and promote biodiversity to support a sustainable ecosystem.

  • Pneumatic pressing of whole grape bunches, a gentle method that preserves the purity and finesse of the fruit. Slow fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks.


    Malolactic fermentation also takes place to convert the harsh malic acids into softer lactic acids.


    After fermentation, the wine is aged for 14 months in oak barrels (10% new barrels) on the fine lees, which adds complexity, mouthfeel, and subtle aromas. This careful approach results in a refined, lively wine with depth and elegance.
