Eve and Michel Rey produce natural, honest white Burgundy in miniscule quantities from the finest terroir in the Mâconnais. Their “La Roche” vineyards—Mâcon-Vergisson and Pouilly-Fuissé—are not only the highest vineyards in their respective appellations but, we believe, also deliver the purest expressions of Chardonnay in the region, bar none.
The Reys moved to Vergisson in 1988, as Michael was hired as a vineyard manager for a regional winemaker. Bit by bit, the couple saved their money and purchased small yet select parcels whenever they could. From the soil to the cellar, Michel and Eve do everything by hand, and it’s just the two of them—such diligence and dedication is what makes their bottles so special. They don’t have tons of vineyards; they don’t overextend. Through hard work and savvy winemaking, this duo is mentioned now in the same breath with Vergisson’s leading artisans, such as Daniel Barraud (who we also have some wine coming from) and Jean-Marie Guffens.
Their modest winery offers a breathtaking view of the Vergisson valley, and the wines faithfully mirror the majesty just outside their cellar door. While the word “artisan” is so often bandied about in wine, it is winemakers like the Reys who are true artisans, crafting with four hands works of vinous art, each and every vintage.

Located on the higher slopes of the Roche de Solutré (one of two ancient reefs that mark the dramatic landscape of Vergisson), ‘En Buland’ faces northwest. Older-vine fruit from this high-altitude, cooler site is bright and racy, with intense citrus aromas and flavors.
