Our crus & Lieu-dits
Beaujolais
In this vineyard of “fifty shades of soil”, Gamay noir, the only grape variety, brings as many nuances to the wines.
Between the Massif Central and the Saône, in the heart of the Beaujolais Crus, facing the rising sun, discover our collection of côteaux, Morgon, Régnié, Chénas… Original and singular terroirs, the cradle of Gamay since the 14th century.
Beaujolais
Morgon
Beaujolais is one of France’s vineyards with the widest variety of soils, which together with the delicacy of the Gamay grape brings multiple nuances to the wines.
Morgon
Javernières
Javernières, a mythical spot on the eastern slope of the famous Côte du Py. If there were “Premiers” or “Grands Crus” in Beaujolais, Javernières would probably be one of them. Javernières wines have great ageing potential.
“On schist and bluestone soils, this Morgon Javernières cuvée is powerful, spicy, with aromas and flavors of cherries, morello cherries and cranberries. It can be kept for 5 to 10 years.
“The Cinq Terres cuvée has the elegance of lieu-dit Chollet, the fruit and roundness of Brye, the power of Terrain Rouge, the lightness of Aux Aiguais, and the minerality of Clachet“.
Morgon
Five Lands
This Cinq Terres cuvée is our main wine. It’s a blend, revisited each year, of five different lieux-dits in the Morgon appellation. All are old vines, on average around sixty years old.
Régnié
Penet Cross
Régnié is the latest addition to the Crus family, ideally positioned between its two big brothers, Brouilly and Morgon.
Croix Penet is a 2-hectare hillside facing south at an altitude of 300m, on granite covered with feldspar crystals.
“
La Croix Penet has the fruity nose of Gamay, good substance in the Morgon style, and the crispness of a wine like Chiroubles. “
Régnié
Chénas
Wood Back
The smallest Beaujolais vineyard, the Chénas appellation has all the makings of a great one. Its name is linked to the commune’s ancient oak plantations.
“Bois Retour” is 5 hectares of east-facing slopes on the heights of Chénas, between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, cultivated on granite and quartz soils. At altitude and surrounded by woods, these vines are well adapted to today’s changing climate.
“Chénas is the perfect accompaniment to festive dishes. A perfect match with rack of pork, roast poultry, veal blanquette…”
Chénas
Beaujolais Blanc
Our 3 hectares of Chardonnay are grown in the heart of the Vieux Bourg estate in Corcelles-en-Beaujolais. Beaujolais Blanc has developed a real identity. On our clay and limestone soils, Chardonnay expresses all its freshness and minerality.
“Freshness and minerality…. With floral notes and a beautiful aromatic intensity… An ideal wine for brunches and aperitifs with friends. A wine for moments and encounters.”
Beaujolais
“The Beaujolais-Villages appellation is the gateway to the crus, a wine that is serious in content and joyful in form. “
Beaujolais-villages
The Beaujolais-Villages, the first French appellation to use the term “villages”, are in fact 38 committed communes and as many singularities… For our cuvée, the blend of wines comes mainly from our vines grown in the villages of Lancié, Régnié and Villié-Morgon.
