The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Marcel Lapierre, a true pioneer, shaped a generation of winemakers and wine lovers. Long before the natural wine movement took off, he championed a new style—vibrant, fruit-driven wines that broke with convention.

In 1981, he made a bold choice: vinifying without sulfur or added yeast and embracing biodynamic farming, eliminating chemical fertilizers and herbicides—a radical approach at the time.

Today, his legacy lives on through his son Mathieu (since 2004) and daughter Camille (since 2013), who continue his work with the same meticulous care, crafting wines with unwavering respect for their 18-hectare estate.
Wine The 2023 Red Morgon perfectly captures the estate’s signature fruit-driven style and the distinct character of the appellation. Fresh notes of black fruit, cherry, and licorice mingle with a delicate hint of violet, while silky tannins frame its vibrant, flavorful core. An irresistible expression of Morgon.
Vinification Hand harvested from 70-year-old vines planted in granite arenas. Traditional Beaujolais semi-carbonic maceration, without SO2 or yeasting, for 10 to 21 days. Aged in 216-litre barrels for approximately 9 months.
Certified organic wine.
