Jean Marc Lafont - Domaine de Bel Air

Morgon and Brouilly Gamay from Beaujolais's granite terroirs.

Jean Marc Lafont's Domaine de Bel Air sits in Beaujolais, where Gamay thrives on granite and schist soils. The winery's portfolio centers on the region's most distinctive crus: Morgon and Brouilly. Les Charmes Morgon and Côte du Py Morgon showcase the mineral precision and dark fruit character that define Morgon's terroir, while Briante Brouilly expresses the softer, more voluptuous side of Gamay from the southern cru. These wines have been assessed by Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast. Beaujolais Gamay, when grown and made with care, balances acidity and tannin in ways that reward both immediate drinking and modest cellaring. The domaine's focus on single-vineyard expressions reflects the region's tradition of site-driven winemaking.
