Domaine Lardy

Beaujolais displaying the individuality that can only come from a good single grower, is the exception rather than the rule. Lucien and Claude Lardy, based in the village of Fleurie, own 12.5 hectares of very old, carefully tended vines, divided between the cru villages of Fleurie, Morgon and Moulin á Vent. Instead of selling their grapes to a negociant, they bottle all of their production themselves and are justifiably proud of their award winning wines which range from light, floral and easy drinking to more powerful, complex wines.

Viticulture

Lucien Lardy is one of the founding members of ‘Terroirs Originels’, a collective of independent winemakers from Beaujolais and the Maconnais. A far cry from the industrial Beaujolais which has tainted the region’s name for so long, this group of artisan winemakers is committed to making estate-grown wines, where the winemaker is involved at every step, from farming to bottling. Their approach to farming is strictly sustainable, promoting utmost respect for the environment and biodiversity. Lucien owns around 35 acres of vines split between Fleurie, Moulin à Vent, Morgon and Beaujolais-Villages. He vinifies each plot separately, in order to create complex and generous wines that display the characteristics of its terroir.

Winemaking

He vinifies each of his plots separately in order to manage the expression of all his lands. This enables him to create complex and generous wines that display the characteristics of its terroir. As a founder and winemaker of Terroirs Originels, Lucien Lardy is proud to have worked along side friends and other talented winemakers to form an alliance, where integrity and passion for winemaking and sustainable growing is fundamental.
