At the Croix du Plat lieu-dit, the oldest vines of the estate, planted between 1945 and 1955. Red and white grow side by side on granite soils, giving thirst-quenching wines of unexpected depth.

Old vines since 1982
The most floral of the Beaujolais crus, on the purest pink granite. Our vines at Cote de Volluet (1994) and Cercillon (1982) give Gamay its most aerial form.

Chiroubles
0.14 haCru
Old vines since 1982
The high-altitude cru, at the Cercillon lieu-dit. A 1982 plot yielding a light, fragrant Gamay, picked later thanks to the cool of the heights.

Romanèche-Thorins
0.56 haCru
The historic cradle of Moulin-a-Vent, at the Bois Pontdevaux lieu-dit. Pink granite soils enriched with manganese, giving Gamay a rare tannic finesse.

Old vines since 1951
The heart of the estate, at the Lathevalle lieu-dit. Eight old-vine plots planted between 1951 and 1987, on the decomposed schist that gives Morgon its depth. Our most precious heritage.

0.58 haWhite / Chardonnay
In the south of the vineyard, at Les Grandes Bruyeres, a well-ripened Chardonnay (2002 and 2011) destined for the estate whites and sparkling wines.
