Estate & Terroir
Domaine de Lucie is a family-run domaine perched in the Saint-Amour appellation of Northern Beaujolais. Vines average 40 years of age and root in pink granite soils that lend minerality and finesse to the Gamay grapes. Sustainable farming and manual harvesting ensure that only the healthiest clusters are selected.
Vineyard Practices
– Organic and biodynamic principles guide every step.
– Low yields promote concentrated fruit flavors.
– Hand sorting eliminates imperfect berries.
Winemaking
After manual harvest, grapes undergo semi-carbonic maceration in stainless steel tanks to preserve primary fruit aromas. Fermentation lasts 10–14 days, followed by gentle pressing. The wine matures on fine lees for 6 months to build texture and stability before bottling without filtration.
