Based in the village of Vergisson in the Mâconnais, Eric Forest has earned a strong reputation for terroir-focused Chardonnay shaped by meticulous vineyard work and low-intervention cellar practices. The “Les Crays” site in Pouilly-Fuissé is defined by shallow limestone-rich soils and a rocky, well-exposed hillside that consistently produces wines of notable tension and mineral precision. Forest’s restrained use of oak and emphasis on freshness allow the vineyard’s combination of citrus-driven energy, stony character, and underlying concentration to come through clearly, highlighting the increasingly serious quality of top Mâconnais terroirs.
