100% Gamay sourced from 50+ year old vines in the lieu-dit of ‘Les Monthieux’.
This light, elegant Beaujolais Villages drinks above its price point owing to the complexity of fruit and minerality from the old vines. Whole cluster fermentation and a six-day maceration extract intense fruit flavours while maintaining overall finesse. The wine is then aged in inert oak so as not to impact the freshness of the wine with any overt oak aromas. Biodynamic wine.

Stéphane Aviron, a small-scale wine producer based in the Beaujolais region, the southernmost part of Burgundy, inherited his deep-rooted passion for winemaking from his father. His father, a wine broker with an oenological laboratory in the area, passed on his knowledge and love for the craft to Stéphane. After completing his education in Beaune and Dijon, Stéphane gained valuable experience working for various wineries in the United States.
Upon his return to France, Stéphane joined his father's business. He later expanded his involvement, venturing into roles at a bottling plant and working as a wine consultant and winemaker in Chénas. Aviron is renowned for his approach as a neo-traditionalist, skillfully blending grapes from ancient vines with a mix of contemporary and traditional winemaking techniques. The result is wines that rival the finest Burgundies in both quality and complexity.
His focus lies primarily on the Beaujolais village crus, where he crafts wines that are incredibly expressive and capable of aging gracefully. Aviron places great emphasis on vineyard management, employing both organic and biodynamic methods. All of his wines bear the label ‘Vieilles Vignes,’ signifying that the vines used are at least 40 years old.
