history
Located 1 km north of the village of Fleurie, in Roche-Guillon, this family estate has been passed down through five generations, a testament to their loyalty to the vineyard. Now managed by Bruno and his family, the 12-hectare estate produces wines under the Fleurie, Fleurie "Clos de la Tour," Moulin-à-Vent, Chénas, and Beaujolais-Villages appellations. The vineyards, planted on steep, granite-based slopes with south-east exposure and an altitude of over 350 meters, yield grapes with exceptional ripeness and a delicate structure typical of the appellation. Vinification and aging remain traditional to preserve the terroir's typicity, showcasing fruity notes, soft tannins, and richness. Dedicated to sustainability, the estate practices environmentally conscious viticulture, adapting to each vintage to ensure the best expression of their land.

Ripe and structured , this wine come from an 1,100-foot elevation vineyard that has been in the same family for five gnerations. A dense wine, it shows power eased by red-fruit acidity at the end. Drink from 2023.
