The story
The estate is associated with the Vincent family, who appear to have been present at the domaine for a long time. The official website lists the family as owners since the 19th century and shows continuity in family management. Over time the estate has developed a range of labels linked to the terroirs of the Mâconnais and Pouilly‑Fuissé, consolidating its reputation as a local reference.
Production philosophy
The approach emphasizes showcasing individual climats and winemaking aimed at preserving the elegance of Chardonnay. The family pays close attention to the quality of the parcels and to oenological practices designed to express the terroir of the Mâconnais.
