DOMAINE LES ROCHES BLEUES BEAUJOLAIS, FRANCE

One couldn’t ask for a better location than the one enjoyed by Domaine Les Roches Bleues on the slopes of the majestic Mont Brouilly, in southern Beaujolais. Begun in 1967 by Annie and Louis Bassy, when they acquired a few hectares of vines with the strong desire to start their own wine domain. It was a daring idea at a time when very few growers owned their own vines, and most small producers primarily sold to large negociants, who reigned supreme. The family was quality-minded from the beginning, and the domain has seen lots of success in the decades since its founding. A fresh start came In 2017, when the young and charismatic third generation, Jonathan Buisson and his wife, granddaughter Chloë, took over the estate, beginning the transformation of the domain to the production of organic and natural wines according to the principles of agroecology, with the incorporation of agroforestry techniques  at the estate. The focus of the domaine is producing the purest, most delicious expression of terroirs as possible.
