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.
Appellation: Moulin-à-Vent
Sylvie and Jean-Paul Champagnon will be delighted to welcome you on their family estate in the centre of the village, where they make traditional wines from different terroirs and have several vintages on sale.
Respectivement fondées en 1928 et 1961 les Cave de Chaintré et Cave des Producteurs de Juliénas sont deux entités productrices de célèbres appellations qui se sont établies en Mâconnais et en Beaujolais, régions reconnues pour leur richesses viticoles.
Respectant les valeurs traditionnelles, les caves ont pourtant fait évoluer leurs méthodes de travail et d’élevage des vins grâce à des procédés innovants. En alliant savoirs-faire ancestraux et nouveautés, nous avons su traverser les époques et toujours suivre les exigences de nos consommateurs.
Depuis le 12 Juillet 2013, nos vignerons-coopérateurs, femmes et hommes déterminés se sont unis formant un véritable “trait d’union” entre Bourgogne et Beaujolais. Animés par la certitude que le présent s’aménage et que le futur se construit, ils vous proposent un magnifique éventail de vins blancs, rouges, rosés et effervescents élaborés dans nos deux caves.
Vous retrouvez nos vins rouges Beaujolais Villages, Juliénas, Saint Amour, Chénas, Fleurie, Moulin à Vent et Brouilly dans nos espaces de dégustation-vente et notre bar à vin.

The estate covers 35 ha of vineyards in the Juliénas appellation area. They are set all around the castle, making the most of excellent sunshine. François’ son, Thierry, is the 5th generation of their family to work the estate. Château de Juliénas was restored in 1907. Part of the building dates from 1582, while the cellars date from 1744.
Ours is a family estate (4th generation) in a charming little flower-decked village with an inn of good repute. We have a recent vinification chai where we have married tradition and modernism. Here the questions (and their answers) are easy to understand!
In an exceptional site at the heart of the Beaujolais Cru area, our cellar will give you the warmest of welcomes to make your stay in Fleurie a true pleasure.
Château du Bourg is a lovely residence, set at the foot of a slope of vines, which was built in the 18th and 19th centuries. Denis Matray will welcome you there, in their 1900s style bistro, to taste the estate’s wines.
Our family estate was created in 1954. The vineyards are in Northern Pays Beaujolais. In the estate’s vaulted cellar, which dates from 1663, you can taste deliciously lip-smacking Chiroubles, Fleurie, reputed to be the most feminine of the Beaujolais Crus, Moulin-à-Vent, the lord of the Crus and fresh, supple Beaujolais Villages of the year.
Welcome to our family estate, where you can be sure of a very warm reception when you visit. We will be delighted to present our wines and profession to you. If you so wish, you can also stay in our guest house.
