It was in 1890 that Antoine Vermorel, my vinegrower-winemaker great-grandfather in Fleurie at ‘Le Point du Jour’, bought the farmhouse at ‘Les Grands Fers’ to manage his estate from. After over 120 years and three generations, I am proud to have been stewarding my great-grandfather’s little estate that is made up of the most fabulous terroirs in the Fleurie appellation area – including Les Roches, Les Garants, Les Côtes and Les Moiriers – since 1991. Vine-tending that is close to nature, made up of observation and patience, well thought-out vinification following absolute tradition and long and noble wood maturing (barrels and tuns) bring out the pedigree of our old Gamay vines giving deep coloured, redolent, rich and thoroughbred wines.
Activité: Dining at a wine estate
Discover our family estate and taste our 6 appellations. Passion, respect for the terroir and traditional vinification, mean that we extract all the nuances from our single grape variety: the Gamay.
Set in the charming commune of Fleurie in the Beaujolais region, Château de Grand Pré boasts a great southeast facing aspect with a panoramic view over the Saône Valley. Our vineyards are tended organically and are certified Ecocert.
Directly linked to the terroirs they came from, our natural wines express their different personalities; from refined and delicate aromas and flavours to more complex stone fruit notes.
Come and try them on the estate.
