This wine embodies the estate's philosophy, highlighting the authentic expression of its terroirs through the use of the finest old vines, controlled yields, and an environmentally respectful approach. Originating from a historic estate dating back to 1877 in Juliénas, this "Seigneur" cuvée from the Beaujolais Crus offers a unique granitic structure derived from the Moulin à Vent appellation. A true immersion in viticultural history and tradition, offering an exceptional tasting experience.
The Perrachon et Fils estate is a historic vineyard located in Juliénas (69840) since 1877. The Perrachon family has been cultivating vines there for several generations, with Laurent and Martine Perrachon now at the helm, assisted by their sons Adrien and Maxime. The estate spans several Beaujolais crus, including Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Chénas, Fleurie, and Saint-Amour, as well as Beaujolais Villages. Traditional methods are employed, including manual harvesting and goblet pruning, with yields intentionally kept low to prioritize quality.
The wines produced cover a range of classic red and rosé Beaujolais crus, as well as some special cuvées. I did not find precise details on winemaking practices, exact historical dates prior to 1877, or the estate's formal environmental certifications.
