Alexandre Burgaud

Gamay-focused cru Beaujolais from Lantignié's granite terroir.

Alexandre Burgaud works the granite and schist slopes of Beaujolais-Lantignié, one of the ten crus within the Beaujolais region. The winery's portfolio centers on Gamay, the varietal that defines this corner of France—a grape that yields wines of bright acidity, silky tannin, and red-fruit purity when grown in these mineral-rich soils. Pur Cent Beaujolais-Lantignié and La Colline de Chermieux Beaujolais-Lantignié represent the winery's core expression, both built entirely from Gamay and rated at 91 points by prestige critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Spectator. The flagship Beaujolais-Lantignié offers a more accessible entry point to the appellation's character. These wines embody the precision and restraint that distinguish the cru Beaujolais category from its lighter, fruit-forward cousins—structured enough to age, immediate enough to drink young.
