Jean-Claude Lapalu
This renowned Beaujolais winemaker produces precise, meticulous wines that immediately stand out in the glass: signature wines with strong personalities. Jean-Claude Lapalu is based in Saint-Étienne-la-Varenne, at the foot of Mont Brouilly, where he cultivates 12 hectares of vines with low yields, particularly on plots of old Gamay vines that are up to 70 years old. The aim is to express this granite terroir through wines that tell the truth.
Inspired by oenologist Jules Chauvet, Jean-Claude Lapaluapproaches wine with a "natural" spirit, but always produces precise, powerful, and complex wines. The choices made in the cellar are essential: rigorous sorting, carbonic and semi-carbonic maceration, and unfiltered juices for an intense and rich expression of flavor. The estate's great vintages, La Croix des Rameaux and Cuvées des Fous, have taken their place on the tables of fine restaurants, to the delight of gourmets. A must-know address for all Beaujolais lovers!
