Our wines
Vavril’s vines face due south and are planted on slopes, which prevents water from stagnating, strengthens the vines and gives the wines more aroma.
Jean-Luc, our winemaker, practises goblet pruning: in other words, pruning that retains two buds on each arm of the vine. This type of pruning is opposed to trellising and therefore does not require any iron fittings, and cannot be mechanized.
The grapes are also harvested entirely by hand, with respect for the fruit and the vines.
Thanks to traditional vinification, our wines will charm you with the red fruit flavors characteristic of the Gamay grape variety. You’ll find a spicy, festive touch.

Beaujolais in Southern Burgundy
Beaujolais is part of the Burgundy wine region, but its wines must be considered separately for several reasons:
– A particular grape variety very well adapted to the soil: Gamay. This grape variety was banished from northern Burgundy by Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy,
– A different climate from Burgundy: hot summers and cool winters.
– A unique tradition in France: Beaujolais Nouveau, which involves drinking wine in its prime to appreciate its fruity character.
In Beaujolais
In Beaujolais, red wines are made from whole grapes, which macerate for 3 to 4 days. A very natural winemaking technique that allows the berries to open gradually. The resulting wine is low in tannins, colorful and very fruity.
Most Beaujolais wines reach their peak within 2 years, with the exception of the Crus, which can be kept for up to 5 years.
