The old Gamay noir à jus blanc vines, ranging from 50 to 70 years old, are rooted in granitic soils, lending the wine remarkable authenticity. Winemaking with whole clusters, using carbonic maceration, reveals delicate fruity and floral notes. Aging in tanks until spring ensures captivating freshness and liveliness, while preserving the pure essence of the fruit.

Jean-Claude Lapalu
Lapalu produces concentrated yet exceptionally refined wines, most of which are made without sulfur. Here, the Gamay exhibits an unexpected depth, balanced by crisp aromas and a full-bodied texture. The granite soils lend a taut structure that underpins the wine’s body. A key estate for understanding artisanal Beaujolais.
