Domaine Guénaël Jambon

The terroirs and vintages of the Guénaël Jambon estate are cultivated according to a parcel-by-parcel and “natural” philosophy, where highlighting the terroir remains the foundation for creating the wines.

Always with the goal of producing clean and precise wines. Most of the plots are located on the southern slope of the Côte du Py, a terroir enriched by blue rocks, schist, and weathered iron oxide and manganese-rich rock. 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 terroirs, 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 express itself fully through soil management, grass cover, and sustainable pest control in the vineyards. Yield control and hand-harvesting allow for selective picking to ensure the grapes have optimal organoleptic quality for winemaking. The wines are aged according to their specific characteristics, with aging in tanks, oak casks, and barrels.

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