Thibault Ducroux is one of those winemakers who has been enticed by the vine from practically a toddler’s age: the son of a Beaujolais grower, he recalls how quickly he became passionate while learning the basics of the trade in his father’s cellar.

Created in 2017, Benjamin Passot today owns more than 3.5 hectares of vines in 5 crus: Juliénas, Moulin à vent, Morgon, Chiroubles, Chenas.

Originally from the Beaujolais village of Charnay, in the land of the Golden Stones, Maxime Barrot learned how to make natural wine in Chile.

Domaine du Crêt de Bine is challenging the view that wins from southern Beaujolais cannot achieve the same intensity and complexity as their northern Cru kin.

Valentin Montenay is based in western Bourgogne’s Vézelay, where he is caretaker of his parents’ 22ha of organically farmed vineyards.
