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 Chemins vineyard is shallow clay on glacial moraine and Jurassic limestone, at 350 metres above sea level. The grapes are hand harvested and fermented naturally using indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged for 6 months in a concrete egg before bottling with no filtering or fining.
