Pascal Aufranc

Gamay-focused Beaujolais crus with mineral depth and structure.

Pascal Aufranc works with Gamay in Beaujolais, the region where this variety finds its most expressive voice. The winery's portfolio centers on cru Beaujolais—wines of structure and depth that defy the region's lighter reputation. Les Cerisiers Vieilles Vignes, sourced from older vines, and Probus Juliénas both demonstrate the mineral precision and dark fruit character that emerge from Beaujolais's granite soils. Chénas, another cru expression, rounds out the core range. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Wine Spectator, reflecting their place within serious Gamay discourse. Pascal Aufranc's approach emphasizes the terroir-driven potential of Beaujolais's premier sites, where Gamay yields wines of genuine complexity and aging capacity.
