Domaine Jean-Luc Mouillard is a family run winery in the Jura region of Eastern France. Located between Burgundy and the Swiss border, Jura is France's smallest wine region and is home to some of the country's most distinctive wines. They use local techniques, such as sous voile, meaning "under a veil" which involves a layer of yeast developing on the surface of the wine during maturation and not topping the barrels like you would normally to get an oxidative style wine. Combining tradition, innovation, and a focus on terroir, Domaine Jean-Luc Mouillard wines are really something unique and special, they show great fruit concentration, minerality and fantastic length.

New to the Beaujolais scene, Domaine Azzara is the project of an exciting young winemaker, Benjamin Azzara. This is his first solo venture, having worked in the industry for over ten years, including previous experience at wineries such as Charlopin-Parizot in Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine de la Vougeraie in Premeaux Prissey, and Cave de la Loire. Benjamin's passion for Beaujolais led him to establish his own vineyard in 2023. He purchased five hectares of old-vine Gamay in Chiroubles. We were thoroughly impressed when we first tasted his wines and are eager to see what the future holds for this promising new talent.

Domaine Raphaël Chopin is located in the town of Lantignié in the heart of Beaujolais, encompassing seven and a half hectares of vineyards across three appellations. Raphaël’s family has a history of cultivating vines here since the 17th century. The tradition nearly ended with his grandfather until Raphaël decided to follow in his footsteps and rebuild the estate in 2009. Born on the 21st November, Beaujolais Nouveau Day, you might just call it fate that winemaking was in his destiny.
