Owned by the De Vermont family for 5 generations, magnificent 12th century vaulted cellars await your visit to the ground floor of Château de Vaux, in the heart of the village of Clochemerle, next to the church, the epicentre of the novel by Gabriel Chevallier and very near to the famous “pissotière” (urinal).
Come and discover and stay on our estate, in the heart of the Beaujolais-Villages appellation area where all the vines are grown organically. We use a horse to do all the ploughing and tilling.
In the heart of the Beaujolais region, Vinescence creates a friendly atmosphere for you to explore the range of wines produced by our wine co-operative that include Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Beaujolais-Villages and Beaujolais. We also have the other Crus of the Beaujolais vineyard on offer.
At the very heart of the Beaujolais Villages appellation area, in a setting made up of steep slopes that are hand harvested, the Cellar at Château de Loges promises you a warm welcome in it its 19th century vaulted cellar and boutique that are open all year round. The wines have gained many awards and medals, confirming their reputation and awakening your senses.
Since 1684 (11th generation of vinegrower-winemakers), the wide diversity of terroirs at Château de Blaceret-Roy allows us to produce a full range of wines within their appellations. Each year brings its originality and personality, making the reputation of the Château wines, the grapes for which come from over century-old vines. The wines are vinified, matured and bottled by Thierry Canard at the Château.
Maison Coquard is a house with personality in Theizé that was built out of the Pierres Dorées (golden stone) that gives its name to the nearby typical villages, which was built in 1881. It is not far from Villefranche-sue-Saône and Lyon. The buildings include an old vatroom and cellar. Christophe Coquard, the son of a long line of vinegrower-winemakers and young artisan broker, will welcome you for a tasting of the entire Beaujolais range.
Domaine Chasselay has been set on this land in Châtillon, in the Vallée des Pierres Dorées (golden stone), 25 km to the north of Lyon for nearly 6 centuries. Love of vinegrowing has bound this family together from generation to generation. The wines from Domaine JG Chasselay are made using organically grown grapes, this guarantees respect for the environment.
The vines of our 15 ha family estate are on the slopes of the Morgon appellation area, just a step away from Cru Chiroubles. Cathy and Cédric Lathuilière will give you a tasting of their wines in their specially fitted out tasting cellar.
Two families of vinegrower-winemakers from father to son have joined to form our estate:
-The PASSOT family, from Chiroubles and Fleurie. Jean-Benoît PASSOT, our great grandfather, was the first winemaker, born in 1867.
-The COLLONGE family, from Villié-Morgon. Antoine COLLONGE, farrier, bought a wine estate in 1828.
-Vinegrower-winemakers since 1978, we created Domaine PASSOT COLLONGE in 1990 with vines from our forefathers in four Beaujolais Cru appellations: Morgon, Chiroubles, Fleurie and Régnié (the prince of Crus and the most recent of the Beaujolais Crus).
-We were among the first vinegrowers to use integrated, eco-friendly tending techniques in our vineyards from 1992.
-We were joined on the estate by our son, Jean-Guillaume, in 2005 when he passed his BTS (vocational degree) in viticulture-oenology. He has gradually increased the range, with vineyards in Côte de Brouilly, Brouilly and Brouilly ‘’Pisse-Vieille’’ (the excellent and only climat or named vineyard in this Cru).
We craft a range of 6 Crus that each carry the stamp of the geographic formation they come from and traditional vinification in small batches. A cuvée for each plot.
With our choice of vintages, we can please all tastes.
Be prepared for a few surprises when you taste our wines; their structure joins forces with the unequalled fruitiness given by Gamay grapes when they come from the land they call home.
Convinced that eco-friendly, integrated vine tending is the right way to go, we started using these methods in 1992. In preserving natural balance and the biodiversity of our terroirs, we are respecting both the environment and the consumer. Since 2018, all our wines are TERRA VITIS certified.
If you can come, we’d love to give you a tour of our estate for you to find out more about our profession of vinegrower-winemakers. You can be sure of a very warm welcome in our Bed and Breakfast on the estate, set in the heart of the Beaujolais vine slopes.
