Domaine Lapierre Raisins Gaulois VDT

A natural wine haven for those searching for wines made free of additives. At Domaine Lapierre they cultivate vines organically and ferment wines without any additives. The estate was created in 1909 and now covers 18 hectares (nearly 45 acres) planted with the grape gamay noir à jus blanc, mainly in the Morgon appellation with several plots within the Beaujolais appellation. At the Domaine they believe excellence depends on four essential elements: people, soil, climate and grape variety.

Les Raisins Gaulois is a wine from France made from the production of young vines. The desire was to produce a wine that was accessible both in terms of taste and price. With its lively, fruity and easy-to-drink character.

The methods at Lapierre are just as revolutionary as they are traditional; the detail and precision with which they work is striking and entirely different from most Beaujolais on the market today. Decomposed granite comprises most of their eleven hectares, and the vines are an average of 45 years of age. Grapes are picked at the last possible moment to obtain the ripest fruit, which is a trademark of the estate style. The Lapierres age their wines on fine lees for at least nine months in oak foudres and fûts ranging from three to thirteen years old. These wines are the essence of Morgon: bright, fleshy fruit with a palatable joie de vivre that was undoubtedly inherited from their creator.
