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.

The fermentation takes place slowly in stainless steel tanks at 16 degrees Celsius, using indigenous yeasts (natural yeasts that are naturally present on the grapes and in the cellar), which contributes to the complexity and authenticity of the wine.
After fermentation, the wine is aged for 10 months in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees (the fine residual particles of yeast cells). This adds extra roundness, finesse, and a subtle structure.
The estate does not use herbicides and applies responsible treatments in the vineyard, with respect for the environment. The result is a pure and lively wine.
