Domaine de La Motte (Beaujolais)

Domaine de La Motte is a small, family-owned 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 ” ratings in the 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 enhance the extraction of color and tannins, and a pneumatic press that gently extracts the grapes’ fruity aromas. They craft the wines of Domaine de La Motte without artificial interventions ; these wines magnificently reflect the finest expressions of Gamay, the Beaujolais region’s unique red grape variety, and offer a highly interesting range of wines from various Beaujolais terroirs, always providing an excellent balance of quality, value, and enjoyment.
