The winery's name, Fay, is an old French word meaning "Domaine". Influenced by Pierre Masson, who is renowned for his biodynamic guidance, the winery switched to organic farming methods from 2010 to 2012 and obtained biodynamic certification in 2016. Because Moulon de Bourgogne is a variety that is susceptible to mold disease, only about 2% of the appellation practices biodynamic farming. The winery pays attention to even the smallest details, such as using quartz collected by the owner Vincent from the highlands of the Alps for its preparations.
Melon de Bourgogne is a variety that faithfully expresses the soil like Chardonnay. Its taste also has nuances similar to Chardonnay and Riesling.

The yield is limited to 30hl/ha, although the appellation allows up to 55hl/ha. 50% of the production is sold in wine shops in France.
