The estate highlights the quality of its old vines (average age of 50 years) by adjusting its pruning and trellising methods to control yields. By reducing inputs, the vineyard allows the terroirs to express themselves during winemaking. With a history dating back to 1601, the estate produces exclusively Chardonnay, "La Perle Blanche," on white clay and limestone soils in northern Beaujolais, offering a unique expression of the terroirs.

Domaines Perrachon et Fils
The Perrachon et Fils estate is a historic vineyard located in Juliénas (69840) since 1877. The Perrachon family has been tending the vines there for several generations; today, Laurent and Martine Perrachon manage the estate, assisted by their sons Adrien and Maxime. The estate spans several Beaujolais appellations, notably Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Chénas, Fleurie, and Saint-Amour, as well as Beaujolais Villages. The winemaking is traditional, featuring hand-harvesting and goblet pruning, and yields are intentionally kept low to prioritize quality.
The wines produced include a range of classic red and rosé Beaujolais wines, as well as a few special vintages. I was unable to find specific details regarding winemaking practices, exact historical dates prior to 1877, or the estate’s formal environmental certifications.
