A small vineyard in the heart of the beautiful Beaujolais landscape, only 10 minutes from the Paris-Marseilles motorway. The friendly English owners, who won a gold medal for their 2009 Morgon appelation, can give keen visitors a fascinating tour of the actual vines with descriptions of why the various rocks and soils produce the different tastes. Everything is done on the premises, so the entire process can be described from start to finish - ending up in the vaulted cellars. They say it is best to ring ahead for this sort of tour.
