Vineyard
The soil of this 15-hectare vineyard consists of granite and pebbles and is characterised by its high acidity. The 70-year-old vines grow on this soil. The combination of this poor soil and old vines results in low yields. Work in the vineyard is carried out biodynamically, without the use of pesticides and insecticides.
Vinification
The hand-picked grapes undergo a double selection: only perfectly ripe and healthy grapes are used. The semi-carbonic maceration lasts 10 to 21 days. No sulfites or yeasts are added during this process. The wine ages for 6 months in old 216-litre Burgundy barrels. The wine is bottled unfiltered.

Domaine Marcel Lapierre
Frankrijk · Beaujolais
Marcel Lapierre geldt als één van de absolute pioniers van de natuurlijke wijnbouw. Vanuit Morgon groeide zijn familiedomein uit tot een cultnaam die de Beaujolais opnieuw op de wereldkaart zette. Waar de regio jarenlang bekendstond om massaproductie, koos Lapierre resoluut voor authenticiteit, terroir en puurheid.
