La Maison Romane

Oronce, born 1978 in Paris decided to leave the city life in 2005 and moved to an ancient house in Vosne-Romanée. The house – Maison Roman – is an old house that dates back to the thirteenth century. Oronce has always been passionate about Burgundy and its different terroirs, so he followed his dream to make great, natural wines by creating his own small vinery in his old cellar.

Oronce buys grapes from friends that farms organically but mainly using biodynamic methods. He plows the vineyards himself though with Prosper and Quatro, his horses. The work is widespread in numerous sites, from Marsannay to Chambolle, all to be able to show the diversity of the terroirs. The vineyards consists mainly of old vines and the selection of fruit is really strict, nearly German.
