The Auvigue family estates are situated near the village of Solutre-Pouilly at the southern end of the Maconnais. The prominent Roc de Solutre is a local landmark overlooking many of the vineyards which lie of south-facing slopes around it. The soil is predominantly clay-limestone which suits the Chardonnay  variety on the stonier, better-draining soils. The Auvigue family's philosophy is one of minimum intervention in the vineyard with use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides kept to a minimum. Harvesting of grapes is done by hand in late summer at perfect maturity.
