Drawn by a passion for wine and the exceptional terroirs of the Mâconnais, he acquired three hectares of vineyards and released his inaugural vintage of 10,000 bottles of Chardonnay. Despite being a newcomer, his debut immediately showcased remarkable precision and purity. Today, Simon's philosophy is centred on producing low-intervention wines that faithfully express the character of each vineyard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery parcel is hand-harvested into small 10kg crates before spending the night in a cold room and being pressed whole bunch using the traditional Champagne pressing method.
