Introduction

In the southernmost part of the Burgundy region, Beaujolais champions the Gamay grape. Although traditionally renowned for light and fruity reds made popular by the emblematic Beaujolais Nouveau, the arrival of established Burgundian producers to this area has meant a move toward quality-focussed wines with a more concentrated style.
We work with a couple of Beaujolais producers who are based within two of the most famous ten named crus: the Labruyère family in Moulin-à-Vent (who also own Domaine Jacques Prieur in Meursault) and the Lafarge family, originally from Volnay but whose holdings now stretch to Fleurie.

Both families stress that they make wines of their respective appellations over ‘Beaujolais’ – terroir-driven and bold with friendlier price tags than in the Côte d’Or!

Beaujolais and the world of Gamay are thriving, with quality-focused producers and friendlier price tags than in the Côte d’Or. Move over Beaujolais Nouveau!

Our two Beaujolais producers are a Moulin-à-Vent family, the Labruyères, who now also own Domaine Jacques Prieur in Meursault and a Volnay family, the Lafarges, whose holdings now stretch to Fleurie.

The Beaujolais crus have benefitted from the arrival of established Burgundian producers and know-how. Just as the Labruyères stress that they make Moulin-à-Vent rather than Beaujolais, for the Lafarges, Fleurie is centre-stage.

    MOULIN-À-VENT

    Perhaps the most famous of the Beaujolais crus, Moulin-à-Vent is named after a local windmill which overlooks neighbouring vines. 

    With heavier, clay-based soils and tremendous Burgundian influence, these wines boast more concentration and structure with greater ageing potential – often appearing uncannily like Pinot Noir rather than Gamay.
