Olivier Depardon is the 7th generation to farm Domaine de la Bêche, founded in 1848 deep in the hills of Beaujolais. His son and daughter have joined him on what is a very traditional domaine (they still use the 5,000 and 6,000 liter foudres that their grandfathers used to age Côte du Py). Their 69 acres of vines grow in all six of Morgon’s climats.
Domaine de la Bêche's 2023 Morgon is a red wine that fully expresses the character of Beaujolais, a region renowned for its fresh and fruity wines. This "Vieilles Vignes" cuvée stands out for its Gamay grape variety, which gives it aromas of red fruits and a beautiful roundness. The 2023 vintage, from a granite terroir typical of Morgon, promises a beautiful richness and a certain depth. The traditional winemaking techniques implemented by the estate, renowned for its know-how, make it possible to capture all the typicity of this appellation. Located in the heart of Beaujolais, Domaine de la Bêche enjoys a temperate climate with continental influences, which guarantees optimal ripeness of the grapes.
