Château de Durette
Beaujolais, France
Four Beaujolais Crus from old vines on granite.
Château de Durette produces wines across four Beaujolais Crus — Régnié, Brouilly, Morgon, and Moulin à Vent — working with vines ranging from 35 to 80 years of age planted on the varied granite soils of the Beaujolais hills. All fruit is hand-harvested and vinified traditionally with significant destemming, ageing in concrete tanks or French oak depending on the cuvée. The estate has earned multiple Silver and Gold medals at the Gamay International Competition. The Moulin à Vent Prestige, aged twelve months in French oak, represents the domaine's most structured and age-worthy expression.
