Wake turbulence "incident"

Flying into Paris on Friday on an AF A319, we were on approach to CDG and the plane suddenly banked hard, then banked back the other way - A319. Airbakes came on and we obviously slowed a bit....

Steward then came on and said Captain told him we just encountered wake turbulence from the plane in front.

Is this normal for the course now, or an incident as such? In all my years of flying I've never encountered it and it's rare I read about it on here - funnily enough it didn't unsettle me, but spooked everyone else, and I'm normally the nervy one!

Thanks as ever - love this forum for the great wisdom on it
