Settled between the Roche of Solutré in Mâconnais and Moulin-à-Vent in Beaujolais, Maison Jean Loron is one of the most longstanding and largest vine owners in south Burgundy. Its winegrowing origins date back to 1711. This Beaujolais is produced from organically farmed vines.
Clayey-schisty-sandy soil on slope, 400 m in altitude.
Manual harvest at full maturity, whole or destemmed depending on the vintage and stem maturity. Temperature-controlled maceration in the beginning in order to manage alcoholic fermentation speed, daily pump-over and punching in the end.
