Domaine Forest

Éric Forest carries on the family legacy of a winery handed down from father to son for eight generations. Trained early by local legend Jean-Marie Guffens, Eric’s wines are shining examples of the potential and serious pleasure of white Burgundy from the Mâconnais. Influenced by his grandfather, who passed on his knowledge of nature and biodynamics, he has developed a respectful approach to terroir and vines. Each stage of the work is carried out by hand, with rigorous precision. He uses short pruning to encourage airy vines and limit the use of phytosanitary products.

Competing plants are controlled ecologically, with ploughing to preserve soil life and encourage roots to penetrate deep into the soil. The grapes are harvested by hand and delicately pressed before careful vinification. Aging on the lees lasts 12 to 18 months in oak barrels, with minimal doses of sulfites. Bottling is by gravity, often without filtration, to preserve the wine's authenticity. Each cuvée is the reflection of our commitment and passion, offering exceptional wines faithful to the expression of the terroir.
