About the estate:
Formerly a merchant for Trenel, Grégoire Hoppenot took over Jean-Paul Champagnon's 10-hectare estate in 2018 to strike out on his own. The young vineyards are certified organic, with the rest currently undergoing conversion.

About the estate:
I discovered the wines from this new estate during my tastings in Villefranche organized by Inter Beaujolais, and Hoppenot's first vintages impressed me enough to deserve a special mention. If he can maintain this level of quality, importers should be knocking at his door.

About wine:
Le Clos de l'Amandier has produced some delicious, highly drinkable wines from the 2018 and 2019 vintages.
About the estate:
Grégoire Hoppenot is one to watch closely. He is one of those winemakers who, before setting up in 2018, gained valuable experience at estates such as Chermette, Maison Trénel, and the Bel-Air winemakers' cellar. He has managed to build up a portfolio of high-quality plots in some of the best locations in the appellation. Gentle vinification of whole bunches is followed by aging in a combination of vats and previously used wood, allowing the nuances to be reflected to the fullest while maintaining a digestible and refined character. The 2018 vintage proved promising, and the 2019 vintage is particularly successful. We look forward to discovering the next vintages.
