Château de Grand Pré Beaujolais Blanc 2022
Location: France, Beaujolais
Winemaker: Romain Zordan
Grapes: Chardonnay
Soil: Clay, limestone
Winemaking: Organic farming. Manual harvest with sorting in the vineyard and in the cellar. All fermentations are temperature controlled with only natural yeast. No fining, no filtering.
From the Importer Jeffrey Alpert: In the southern area of the Beaujolais, the communes of Fleurie and Villié-Morgon can be found and within them the family estate Château de Grand Pre. The property was owned by Louis and Renee Bertrand from 1972 till the 1990s when their children became involved. Their focus was low-intervention winegrowing so it was no surprise that the estate had eliminated the use of chemicals by 2000. In 2012, the relationship between Romain and Jean-Francois Ganevat began when Romain worked alongside Ganevat in the Jura during harvest. To this day Ganevat purchases Romain’s grapes for some of his cuvees. The property has been certified organic since 2012, and harvest is all manual. Semi-carbonic maceration in temperature-controlled tanks. There are no added yeasts, and minimal sulfur is used only when necessary. All cuvees are unfined and unfiltered.
