Producer
The beginnings of the estate date back to the early1900s.Mr. Besson, Dominique Morel’s great-grandfather, moved to the town of Émeringes. A man of his time, Besson was the inventor of the first filter press, for which he won a bronze medal at the Concours Lépine in 1910.He set up a distillery and a cooperage near the small 2-hectare (5-acre) vineyard.
The estate’s vineyards are spread across 8 villages in the Beaujolais winemaking area.
The majority of our vineyards are on hillsides, some even on very steep slopes. Vineyards planted in water drainage channels are maintained and meticulously tended every year to prevent erosion.
In these vineyards, all farm work is done by hand.
Vineyard
Some of the vineyards that give the grapes for this wine date back to the creation of the estate on the commune of Emeringes over a hundred years ago. Dominique’s ingenious grandfather of, Mr. Besson, won a bronze medal at the 1910 Concours Lépine invention competition for the invention of a filter-press.
This wine opens out with fresh red fruit aromas that come through as flavours on the rounded more-ish palate. An enjoyable wine for any time of day and for any occasion.
