    Producer

    Roche du Py is one of Morgon's most renowned vineyard sites, perched on a base of decomposed granite known as "roche pourrie," ideal for producing a deep and structured Gamay. The estate's vines are cultivated organically, with meticulous attention paid to the natural balance and ripeness of the grapes. This unique terroir gives the Py wines an unparalleled mineral intensity and aromatic precision.

    Owner and history

    Today, Mathieu and Camille Lapierre manage the estate, faithfully continuing the vision of their father, Marcel, a leading figure in natural winemaking. Trained by some of the greatest winemakers, they combine experience, intuition, and absolute respect for nature. Their rigorous approach, centered on purity and authenticity, allows them to express each terroir of Morgon with precision. Thanks to their commitment, the estate remains a benchmark in Beaujolais and a symbol of quality.

    Vinification and aging

    The estate practices traditional Beaujolais-style winemaking: hand-harvesting, carbonic maceration, indigenous yeasts, and very little use of sulfur. Aging takes place in old oak casks to preserve the purity of the fruit while refining the structure.
    The Roche du Py Camille 2016 vintage benefits from this approach, revealing a denser profile, precise ripeness and a complex aromatic expression that magnifies the personality of the Py terroir.

    The team's opinion

    This 2016 Roche du Py Camille vintage expresses the depth of granite with rare intensity, offering a vibrant, precise and excitingly elegant Morgon.
