Château Cambon

Beaujolais, France

Château Cambon began as a project of three friends: the late Marcel Lapierre, Marie Lapierre and Jean-Claude Chanudet. The trio discovered a gem of a property just outside the edges of Morgon and Brouilly and realized that, despite being designated outside the grand cru status, it held prestige beyond title.

Avid proponents and practitioners of biodynamics and the natural winemaking philosophies of Jules Chauvet, they were pleased to find land and vines planted in 1914 that had gone unspoiled by the modern age of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Whole bunches are spontaneously fermented in old oak foudres with semi-carbonic maceration, which Marie calls “the most appropriate fermentation style for Gamay.”

The wines bear the hallmark of the late, great Marcel Lapierre, with the formidable contributions of many others over the years.
