Domaine du Granit

Old-vine Gamay from Beaujolais's granite terroirs: Fleurie and Moulin-à-Vent.

Domaine du Granit produces Gamay-based wines from Bourgogne's Beaujolais crus. The winery's portfolio centers on old-vine expressions from two of the region's most prestigious terroirs: Fleurie and Moulin-à-Vent. Les Garants Vieilles Vignes Fleurie demonstrates the silky, fruit-forward character typical of Fleurie, while the Vieilles Vignes selections from Moulin-à-Vent—La Rochelle and Les Caves—showcase the structure and mineral depth that define that appellation's granite-based soils. Gamay from mature vines in these crus yields wines of complexity and aging potential, moving beyond the light, quaffable profile associated with younger Beaujolais.
