Domaine
Louis-Claude Desvignes
The Desvignes family have been Morgon vignerons since the mid-1700’s.Claude-Emmanuelle and her brother Louis-Benoît are the 8th generation.
Their father Louis-Claude made wine but sold off around half of the family fruit; the kids ended that practice and began bottling the entire production under the Desvignes label.
Their 13 hectares of vines lie exclusively in the cru of Morgon, which of the 10 Beaujolais crus produces some of the most long-lived and complex wines, thanks to high concentration of schist and manganese in its soils.
The Desvignes holdings are divided into numerous small parcels, with the vines averaging 70 years old, and farming is organic.
