The Beaujolais vineyard unfolds its countless hills on 55 km from South to North. Its leitmotif is "diversity" - both in the landscape with the crus in the northern area, the Beaujolais-Villages in the center and the Beaujolais mostly in the Southern area. These landscapes have in commun the gamay, a dark grape varietal with white juice. As to the wines, they prove to be surprisingly different as well, and full of sublety.

The AOC Beaujolais is a regional appellation whose production zone covers all 72 communes of the Beaujolais vineyards, making it the largest of the Beaujolais AOCs. Located mainly in the south of the vineyard, between Arbresle and Belleville, it also includes a few plots along the eastern slopes of Beaujolais crus, almost as far as Saint-Amour. Over 300 hectares are devoted to producing AOC Beaujolais whites. The chardonnay plots are mainly located in the far north and in the south, around the communes of Liergues, Le Bois d’Oingt and Bully.
The grapes are carefully pressed and then vinified at low temperature. After fermentation takes place slowly from the clear juice in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to retain all the freshness and fruitiness of the Chardonnay. Part of the wine is matured in vats and the rest in casks.
