PRE-ORDER About Winery Domaine Éric Forest is a small, family-run winery in Vergisson, Burgundy, rooted in eight generations of winemaking tradition and known for its meticulous, biodynamic approach. Eric Forest inherited his vineyards—planted between 1930 and 1979—from his family in Vergisson, a village in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy. Deeply influenced by his grandfather’s knowledge of nature and biodynamics, Forest emphasizes manual vineyard work, careful pruning for ventilation, and minimal use of chemicals to preserve the health of the vines. He trained under Jean-Marie Guffens, a renowned local winemaker, before establishing his own domaine in the early 2000s. Today, he cultivates about six hectares of old vines on limestone-rich soils, producing acclaimed Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, and Mâcon-Vergisson wines. His philosophy centers on precision, terroir expression, and sustainability: grapes are hand-harvested, fermented, and aged for 10–15 months in oak barrels, then bottled by hand, often unfiltered. This artisanal approach has earned him recognition as one of the leading vignerons in Vergisson, with wines celebrated for their minerality, energy, and authenticity.
