Founded at the beginning of the century, in 1920, the family-run farm has been passed down from father to son for more than three generations, enjoying a privileged position in the heart of the Beaujolais vineyards, more precisely in the village of Villié-Morgon. Located in that piece disputed between Burgundy and Rhône, the vineyard land extends over 16 hectares belonging to the renowned area of Morgon. It was in 1981, under the impetus of Jules Chauvet, a well-known researcher, that Marcel Lapierre decided to make wine without SO2 or selected yeasts and to grow his vines organically. Today, despite his passing in 2010, the energy of the estate remains the same: in fact, since 2005, his children Matthieu and Camille Lapierre have entered the company alongside Marcel, understanding how to run the company according to the dictates of natural agriculture. Little gem: the “Le Cambon” cuvée, coming from an 80-year-old vineyard of Château Cambon, acquired in 1995 by father Marcel and today entirely carried on by his wife Marie.
