Bachelards Castle
The Château des Bachelards vineyard was created by Benedictine monks from Cluny around the year 1100. It is the southernmost monastic vineyard in Burgundy. It covers 12 hectares, including 6 hectares in Fleurie in a single block around the château, all surrounded by an enclosed area cultivated like a garden, with additional plots in Moulin-à-vent and Saint-Amour. 

Alexandra de Vazeilles has been the proud owner since 2014. She has no family roots in the Beaujolais region, and her choice of terroir was based on her belief that the granite soils of Fleurie are among the finest terroirs in France.  
The grape variety is indigenous and rare. There are several types of Gamay, and ampelographic research is currently underway at the château. With dual certification as organic (FR-BIO-15) and biodynamic (Demeter), the wines are in keeping with this tradition. Château des Bachelards is the only estate in the appellation and will remain the pioneer of biodynamics in Fleurie, Moulin-à-Vent, and Saint-Amour. The soils are free of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

The soils have been free of chemicals for over 12 years, and this has changed the style of the wines.
