This wine is a fine example of traditional craftsmanship, made exclusively from white-juiced black Gamay grapes grown according to strict organic farming principles. The 40-year-old vines, rooted in granite-rich soil, benefit from specialized expertise, including hand-harvesting. Carbonic maceration of whole clusters and aging on fine lees in concrete tanks for eight months add to its natural complexity.

Thibault Ducroux
Thibault Ducroux is a winemaker based in Villié-Morgon in the Beaujolais region, where he works with vineyards in the process of transitioning to organic farming to produce “natural” wines that reflect the pure expression of Gamay on granite soils. His approach draws inspiration from local traditions while allowing each vintage to express its own unique character.
Thibault Ducroux’s wines are produced using minimalist winemaking techniques, often involving carbonic maceration and native yeasts, in order to preserve the fruit’s freshness and the terroir’s natural vitality. Aging takes place primarily in tanks to maintain a direct and lively expression.
His wines, often made from old vines, are characterized by a liveliness and aromatic intensity that make them ideal for drinking young or for enjoying as they age, for those who appreciate the authentic, unpretentious wines of Beaujolais.
