Quick facts:

• The estate is found in the southern part of Beaujolais between the Brouilly hill and the Nizerand valley, surrounded by forests and meadows. This area is known as “Pierres Dorées” or “golden stones” due to the yellow ochre stones that characterize the landscape.
• In addition to grapes, the Fellot family grows grains, clover, and flowers between the rows as cover crops, and raises free-range cows.
