Jean Bererd

Gamay-focused Beaujolais from the heart of the region's Villages appellation.

Jean Bererd works in Beaujolais, the French region where Gamay Noir thrives in granite and schist soils, yielding wines of bright acidity and red-fruit character. The winery's Domaine de La Madone Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau, made from Gamay Noir, captures the freshness and immediacy that define the region's nouveau tradition. A second expression, Domaine de la Madone Le Perréon Beaujolais Villages, also built on Gamay, shows the grape's ability to age with structure and depth beyond the season's release. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator. Beaujolais at this level—Villages and cru-adjacent bottlings—sits at the intersection of approachability and serious winemaking, where fruit-forward character meets mineral precision.
