Taking over the business from his grandfather in 1986, Gilles & Annie Copéret have expanded across several prestigious Cru's in Beaujolais, most recently with the acquisition of 6 acres on the hill of La Madone in Fleurie. All the grapes are hand harvested and the vineyards have a Terra Vitis sustainability certification.

The Sauburins vineyard is planted to 50 year old vines that are planted in deep granite soil steep slopes facing Mont Brouilly. The grapes are hand-picked, whole bunch macerated and aged 10 months in concrete vats. This cuvée gives an intense ruby red color with purple/blue tints. The mouthfeel is seductive and flavorful with a lovely black and red berry fruit feel , the tannins are noticeable yet elegant. Ideal as a partner to white meat and light appetizers.
