Sibling duo Matthieu and Camille Lapierre are the children of Marcel Lapierre, a pioneer of the natural wine movement in Beaujolais in the 1980’s. A member of the “Gang of Four," a term coined by wine negociant Kermit Lynch, Marcel’s journey in wine came around when he met Jules Chauvet who advocated farming the vines and making wines in the least interventionist means possible. This also meant rejecting the use of cultured yeasts and the addition of sulfur during the winemaking process. The movement turned Beaujolais on its head and restored the region as a legitimate source for great wines.

The siblings continue their father’s tradition -- harvesting a bit later with lower yields and no added sulfur from 50-80 year old parcels just outside the Morgan AOC boundaries. A mini Morgan!

The 100% Gamay goes through a semi-carbonically maceration for 10-21 days and 6 months in cuve (large tank). The wine is super quaffable -- light and rich with bright strawberry and cherry notes and an underlying earthiness!
