Domaine de la Grosse Pierre in Beaujolais, France is a rising star in the world of wine production. Led by the dynamic and talented Pauline Passot, this family-owned estate has been making waves in the industry since she took over its management in 2018. Her great-grandfather planted the first vines here in the 1940s, setting the foundation for what would become a renowned winery.
Passot's passion for winemaking was evident from a young age, as she grew up on the estate and later pursued a career as a sommelier in Michelin starred restaurants. She even gained experience abroad, working a vintage in New Zealand before returning to her Beaujolais roots to study in Beaune. Now, she has taken over the day-to-day operations of the domaine, which spans 7.7 hectares in Chiroubles, 0.8 hectares in Morgon, and half a hectare in Fleurie.
All of the wines at Domaine de la Grosse Pierre are made with the same care and attention to detail. Passot follows a natural approach, using wild yeasts and minimal intervention during vinification. This results in wines that truly showcase the unique terroir of each plot, from the crisp and lively Chiroubles to the elegant and floral Fleurie and the deeply perfumed Morgon. These wines are a true reflection of modern Beaujolais, with their purity, silkiness, and irresistible flavors.
With organic certification on the horizon and experiments in biodynamics, Domaine de la Grosse Pierre is leading the way in sustainable and innovative winemaking. These exceptional wines are now available nationwide, so don't miss the opportunity to experience the brilliance of this rising star producer from France. Cheers to Pauline Passot and her team at Domaine de la Grosse Pierre for their dedication to crafting outstanding Beaujolais wines.
