Elisa Guรฉrin grew up in Moulin-ร -Vent; her childhood friends were Ophelie Dutraive (daughter of Jean-Louis Dutraive, of Domaine de la Grand Cour) and Alex Foillard (son of Jean Foillard, one of Kermit Lynchโs Gang of Four and a pioneer of the natural wine movement). She left home to study in Dijon and work in Paris, but she always knew that one day, sheโd return to Beaujolais to craft great wine.
And from her inaugural vintage (2018), thatโs precisely what sheโs done. She immediately began the conversion to organic farming, and dedicated herself to making wines of great purity, delicacy and terroir expression. From the moment we first tasted them, weโve found ourselves enamored with these classic iterations of Gamay.
Many of us fell in love with wine through Beaujolais โ the best versions are simultaneously easygoing and profound. Elisaโs wines offer exactly that kind of pleasure, with transparent red fruit, silken texture, balanced acidity and just a hint of structure. She personally designed her labels, and these graceful wildflowers, meant to symbolize a wild garden, are as beautiful as the wine inside.
