The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Éric Forest is one of Burgundy’s standout winemakers, specialising in White wines that showcase impressive depth and a clear sense of the region's limestone-rich soils. His approach to winemaking is all about precision, from vineyard to cellar, and it’s earned him a well-deserved star in the RVF Guide.

The vines, some quite old, are farmed biodynamically, and the grapes are picked at just the right ripeness. The result? Wines that consistently deliver both character and balance, with a quality that’s hard to match in the Mâconnais. If you’re into Burgundy, this is a name worth knowing.

This is a wine to will evolve beautifully over the next 8 to 10 years, if not longer. Rated 94/100 by the Selection Committee.
