REGION: Beaujolais

Domaine de Bel Air perches over the Ardieres Valley as it has for nearly 170 years. Winemaker Jean-Marc Lafont and his wife Annick have been running the estate since 1985. They keep with tradition and produce highly expressive wines that have clear terroir expression.

Domaine Paul Durdilly is a small father-son team with some of the highest vineyards in the Beaujolais appellation. Their vineyards are a mix of granite, schist, river debris and clay. The cuvee Grandes Coasses has a proportion of granite and limestone than the average Beaujolais.
