Vineyards and production of Norman wines, available in six cuvées
In Normandy too, there's wine... and good wine! On the clay-limestone slopes of Grisy, this estate has been cultivating a vineyard with a Norman Burgundy feel for over 30 years. Taken over in 2023 by Étienne Fournet, it is entering a new era: hand-harvesting, conversion to organic farming (full conversion by 2027), modernized labels... A new lease of life brought about by six IGP Calvados-Grisy cuvées, made from grape varieties ranging from Pinot Noir to Auxerrois, including Chardonnay, for an annual production of around 40,000 bottles.

Owner's Message
From medieval times to the end of the 18th century, vineyards flourished here. The ancients, with their innate sense of nature, called this ideally exposed site "Le Soleil".
The search for optimal quality factors led to their rebirth in 1995.
