Overview of the Wine
Christophe Lapierre took over the reins of the family farm in 2008, the Dom. de Chênepierre (12 ha distributed between chénas, moulin-à-vent, beaujolais-villages). He is now working to reduce herbicides in his vineyards. Part of its surface is vinified by the cooperative of Chénas (under the label "Dom. Christophe Lapierre").

Christophe Lapierre farms 10.7 hectares split between plots in Chénas and Moulin-à-Vent using very traditional winemaking practices. Christophe might not come across with the “flashiness” of some of his other young peers in the region, but he makes up for that in spades in what are some of the most charming and authentic Beaujolais wines that you’ll drink.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
It is on Les Terres du Thé, a granite terroir facing due south with the 15th century Moulin-à-Vent in its sights that the 1913 vineyard benefits from an ideal exposure and altitude to obtain fine and racy. This vine is a bit like their Proust madeleine, already called the old vine by the grandfather then by the father, Christophe is proud today that it is “his” old vine. Guaranteeing the work carried out by his ancestors on these lands, he chose wood breeding to provide finesse. At sunrise, the quartz that doest the ground shines and adds magic to this unique place.
