Fruit comes from 60-year-old organically farmed vines and is semi-carbonically macerated without sulfur.Producer InformationThe estate is above all a story of transmission, of successive generations on this same estate since Joseph Sanvers in 1856, followed by Philibert Sanvers, Jean and Marinette Sanvers, then Evelyne and Guy Cotton. Until today Pierre Cotton and Marine Bonnet, partners who work together, the same vines, driven by the momentum of the past with a vision of the future and the sustainability of vine cultivation. The estate is an old building, the seat of 5 hectares of family land worked for 5 generations and located on the south face of the Brouilly hill. Today the estate covers 13 hectares in the Beaujolais, Brouilly, Cte de Brouilly, R??gni?? and Fleurie appellations. All the vines are worked in organic farming, certified or in the process of certification. For several years, we have been interested in agroecology. And we have started to implement agroforestry (plant covers, hedges, intra-plot trees, pruning, etc.). The aim is to put the tree at the heart of the agronomic system and to improve the quality of the soil and the environment. The average age of our vines is 65 years. Cup pipes at 10,000 feet/hectare. We grow Gamay and a small portion of Chardonnay. The harvest is done by hand, collected in small boxes to maintain the integrity of the grapes. Our vintages all come from plot selections. Indeed, the geological complexity of Beaujolais offers us a diversity of terroirs just waiting to be expressed through the same grape variety and the same winemaking method. We vinify together but everyone expresses themselves through their vintages, in the most natural way possible, using carbonic maceration, with indigenous yeasts, without added sulfur, with some exceptions (see descriptions of the vintages). Our wines are aged in tuns for 6 to 12 months. Then bottled without fining or filtration.
