The story
The estate began as a mixed farm in the 1950s and gradually shifted to viticulture. Jean‑Christophe Dupré joined the estate in 1990, followed by Vincent in 1994; with the arrival of Jean‑Baptiste, according to sources, the estate expanded its vineyard holdings to the current size cited in public descriptions. Over time the family acquired small parcels in the villages of Royer and Mancey and scaled back livestock farming, concentrating on grape quality and land management.
Production philosophy
Practices focused on sustainability and yield control: soil cover, Royat Cordon pruning to limit yields, use of organic amendments and traceability of operations. The estate applies "Reasoned viticulture" and declares the goal of preserving the viticultural heritage of the Mâconnais.
