"In 2023, Matthieu Delaporte decided to produce just one red wine instead of the usual three; this one is therefore a blend from his three vineyards located around Chavignol. It has a lively, concentrated nose of candied strawberries, with woody notes. The fruit is pure and flavorful, with fresh, excellent, and balanced acidity, as well as a lovely finish. All the grapes were destemmed, resulting in a velvety and approachable wine, ready to drink now.” (Decanter 2025).

Located in Chavignol, this 33-hectare family-run estate was revived by Matthieu Delaporte. The wines produced—both white and red—faithfully reflect their original terroirs. The estate’s wines are gaining momentum, and organic certification was obtained for the 2023 vintage.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
In 2010, Matthieu Delaporte’s arrival marked a turning point for this historic Chavignol estate, leading to a focus on soil management, the elimination of herbicides, lower yields, and barrel-aged winemaking. From the outset, the winemaker demonstrated great ambition and took on the challenge of restructuring a 33-hectare vineyard. A major undertaking aimed at producing more refined wines, certified organic since 2023. The range combines blended cuvées (Chavignol and Silex) and single-vineyard wines (the legendary south-facing slope of Monts Damnés, as well as Le Cul de Beaujeu, famous elsewhere for its whites, but planted here with Pinot Noir). The whites are meticulous, refined, and well-balanced; the reds are equally well-crafted.
