CHATEAU DE VAURENARD

Château de Vaurenard – The Soul of Beaujolais Since 1672

A historic and family-owned estate in the heart of Beaujolais. Nestled among the green hills of Beaujolais, Château de Vaurenard embodies one of the region’s oldest winemaking lineages. Owned by the same family since 1672, the estate now spans 25 hectares of carefully tended vines rooted in the clay-granite soils typical of Beaujolais. This living heritage perpetuates a vision of wine founded on transmission, authenticity, and precision.

The Philosophy of a Passionate Winemaker

At the helm of the estate, Ghislain de Longevialle works to uphold a distinctive style: sincere, expressive wines crafted with respect for both nature and tradition. Each vintage is guided by the desire to let the terroir speak, while honoring Beaujolais’ time-honored winemaking heritage. Soil care, manual harvesting, and natural vinification ensure the perfect balance between fruit, freshness, and depth.

Authentic and Expressive Wines

The wines of Château de Vaurenard are renowned for their aromatic purity and harmonious structure. The Gamay Noir à Jus Blanc grape thrives on the sun-drenched slopes, producing wines with notes of red fruits, violet, and soft spices. Each cuvée reflects a different facet of the estate: elegance, character, and sincerity.
