Located in the heart of the prestigious Beaujolais wine region, the Louis Tête estate is inseparable from the history of French wine. Founded in 1900, this family estate has managed to preserve and pass on, from generation to generation, a wine tradition more than a century old. Nestled amid hilly, verdant vineyards, the Louis Tête estate spans over 35 hectares of 40 to 60-year-old vines. Its privileged geographical location, between the Beaujolais mountains to the north and the Saône plain to the south, gives the estate's wines a unique personality, a singular signature. The pink granite soils, typical of the region, are particularly conducive to the thriving of Gamay, the reigning grape variety of Beaujolais. The estate applies traditional agricultural methods, respecting the environment. The harvest is carried out by hand, obtained with respect for the terroirs and the people. Vineyard work follows the natural cycle of the seasons, without resorting to chemical treatments. This philosophy is reflected in Louis Tête wines, authentic reflections of their terroir. The Louis Tête estate's range is varied, ranging from Beaujolais Villages to the most renowned crus, such as Brouilly, Morgon or Fleurie. These wines fully express the uniqueness and finesse of the Gamay. They are recognized for their fruity aromas, great freshness, and finesse. Their aging potential is also worth noting, a challenge that few Beaujolais wines meet. A visit to the estate is a unique opportunity to discover the art of Beaujolais wine. The vaulted cellar, the old oak barrels, the endless vineyards, everything there is a hymn to the art of the vine and wine.
