Born from ancestral expertise, this wine is the result of uninterrupted family traditions dating back to 1856. The vines, located in the heart of Beaujolais, benefit from ideal exposure on the Brouilly hill. The Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc grape, indigenous to these ancient alluvial soils, is hand-harvested. The vinification process is characterized by whole-cluster carbonic maceration, followed by spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. An eight-month aging period in large oak foudres enhances its aromatic complexity.

Domaine Bonnet Cotton
Domaine Bonnet Cotton is located on the southern slope of the Brouilly hill in Beaujolais. This family estate, established in 1856, is now managed by Pierre Cotton and Marine Bonnet, who uphold traditional practices while integrating agroecological and sustainable methods.
The vineyard spans 13 hectares across the Beaujolais, Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Régnié, and Fleurie appellations. All vines are organically farmed, with some parcels holding biodynamic certification. The average age of the vines is 65 years, and they are trained in the Gobelet system, with manual harvesting and collection in small crates to preserve the integrity of the grapes.
