Domaine de La Motte (Beaujolais)

Domaine de La Motte is a small, family-run estate spanning 26 hectares, with vineyards spread across the Côte-de-Brouilly, Brouilly, Fleurie, and Moulin à Vent appellations in the Beaujolais region. Today, Laurent Charrion, the third generation of this family of winemakers, is at the helm of Domaine de La Motte and regularly earns stars or Favorites Guide Hachette for his excellent Côte-de-Brouilly.

Laurent Charrion and his wife Christine are dynamic and innovative winemakers who manage Domaine de La Motte by respecting their terroir while employing modern winemaking techniques. They were among the first winemakers in the region to use temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, which promote the extraction of color and tannins, and a pneumatic press that allows for the gentle extraction of the grapes’ fruity aromas. They produce the wines of Domaine de La Motte without artificial intervention ; these wines splendidly reflect the finest expressions of Gamay, the unique red grape variety of Beaujolais, and offer a highly interesting range of products from various Beaujolais terroirs, always at an excellent value in terms of quality, price, and enjoyment.
