After mastering biodynamic farming and vinification at Valetin Zusslin, Alsace, Erwan Buchwalter found the perfect plots for his vinus vision in the Medieval village of Luecy, Savoie.  

In 2022 he acquired 6.5 ha of the former Chateau de Lucey, 80% dedicated to the local Altesse grape and the remainder to Pinot Noir and Mondeuse. The plots were already certified Organic and now Erwan follows strict biodynamic principles that allow his vines to adapt to the changing climate and to produce wines of longevity. The wines are vinified in the ancient fortress of Lucey with no additives.

The Monettes vineyard is deep, stony Jurassic argilo-calcareous soil, at 400 metres above sea level. The grapes are hand harvested and fermented naturally using indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged for 9 months on the lees in stainless steel, egg before bottling with no filtering or fining.
