Domaine Chasselay
Domaine Chasselay is one of the oldest wineries in Beaujolais. The domaine is located in Châtillon d’Azergues in the southern part of the region. Since 1464, this family of winegrowers has been cultivating their vines using techniques that respect the environment and the soil. One of the pioneers of organic agriculture (BIO) in Beaujolais, their wines have been certified since 2006.
The grapes are exclusively hand harvested. The fermentation takes place naturally in small or large oak barrels. They use only natural yeasts. Their wine philosophy's production is to produce terroir wines while respecting nature. One plot of their vineyard was planted in 1894, therefore those vines are 115 years old.
Jean-Gilles and Christiane Chasselay have been harvesting winegrowers since 1981. After their studies in viticulture, oenology and wine trade, Claire and Fabien joined Domaine JG Chasselay in 2007. Today, their children Claire and Fabien Chasselay join their parents to perpetuate this passion for wine.
