" Gem real Gem "

“The Gamay grapes from several plots located near the château (the localities known as Les Rochaux, Point du Jour, and La Madone) grow on terroirs of sand and granitic sand. As is customary at Loron, vinification was carried out using the submerged cap method, with a significant portion of whole grapes. The wine—fruity, fresh, full-bodied, and refined—is perfectly balanced. Silky, delicate tannins give it a crisp texture. The 2018 vintage also earned the Favorite” designation.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021) What a success!

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

The Gamay grapes, sourced from several plots located near the château (in the localities known as Les Rochaux, Point du Jour, and La Madone), grow on terroirs of sand and granitic sand. As is customary at Loron, vinification was carried out using the submerged cap method, with a significant portion of whole grapes. The wine—fruity, fresh, full-bodied, and refined—is perfectly balanced. Silky, delicate tannins give it a crisp texture. The 2018 vintage also earned the Favorite.

About the estate:

The company traces its origins to Jean Loron, a winemaker born in the Beaujolais region in 1711. His grandson, Jean-Marie, founded a wine shipping business in 1821. Now run by the eighth generation, this wine merchant also owns several estates, including Château de la Pierre (Régnié, Brouilly), the Fleurie and Bellevue estates (Morgon), the Domaine des Billards (Saint-Amour), and the Domaine de la Vieille Église (Julienas).

Wine rated (2021 guide) 92/100

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)

About the wine:

Made from grapes grown on vineyards owned by the Loron and Barbet families, this is a rich, well-structured wine. It is wonderfully aromatic and juicy, with flavors of blackberry and a fragrant acidity. Firm tannins underlying all this fruitiness suggest it will age well. Best enjoyed starting in 2022.
