Anne-Cécile worked in Paris at Papillon, while Marc gained\u003cbr\u003eexperience in London, Valence, and even on a coffee plantation in Ecuador. Returning to\u003cbr\u003eFrance during Covid, Marc worked with Thomas Pico (Domaine de Pattes Loup), and later, the couple collaborated with François Rousset Martin in Jura, all while building their own\u003cbr\u003edomain. In 2024, they fully committed to Maison des Saules. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eNow, they manage five hectares across Villeneuve-sous-Pymont, Savagna, and L’Étoile, with cellars in Perrigny and Chille, focusing on long-aging Savagnin. Their vineyards, on grey marl and amphitheater-like slopes, are being rejuvenated with great care, even incorporating a new orchard. Currently, 2.6 hectares are in production with the rest coming into production this year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the inaugural vintage of “Sous les Grands Prés”, making a striking debut in the UK. It was our Wine of the Day at a recent trade tasting. Achieving such a remarkable balance of concentration, elegance, and freshness is no easy feat.
