Presentation
Created in 1993 by Alain Normand, the estate has significantly expanded with the arrival of Sylvaine Normand in 2010, reaching 35 hectares today, located in Solutré, Chaintré, and La Roche-Vineuse. The whites, 100% Chardonnay, are vinified in stainless steel tanks and partially aged in barrels, offering balanced wines with notes of white fruits and acacia flowers, with sharp minerality. The reds, made from Gamay, are vinified in traditional maceration, giving round and fruity wines. The estate's uniqueness: Rigorous soil work, without herbicides, and sustainable agriculture, preserving biodiversity.
