Domaine Guénaël Jambon

The terroirs and cuvées of the Guénaël Jambon estate are cultivated with a plot-by-plot and “natural” philosophy, where highlighting the terroir remains the foundation for creating the wines.

Always with the goal of crafting clean and precise wines. Most of the plots are located on the southern slope of the Côte du Py, a terroir rich in blue rocks, schist, and decomposing iron oxide and manganese. This yields a Morgon with minerality, fruit, and body. The second part of the Morgon vineyards is located in the “Charmes” and “Grands Cras” climats, on granitic and sandy soils, yielding generous wines with notes of red fruit and supple tannins. The exceptional exposure and terroir of these plots are combined with a deep respect for the vines and rigorous cultivation practices. Indeed, Guénaël is committed to allowing the terroir to fully express itself through soil management, grass cover, and sustainable vineyard practices. Yield control and hand-harvesting allow for selective picking to ensure optimal organoleptic quality of the grapes for winemaking. The wines are aged according to their specific characteristics, with maturation in tanks, oak casks, and barrels.

The estate comprises 20 hectares planted with Gamay: Morgon “Côte du Py,” Morgon “Charmes,” Morgon “Grand Cras,” Fleurie, Chiroubles, Beaujolais Villages
