Château de Durette - the authentic soul of Beaujolais wines
Château de Durette
A Beaujolais estate in Regnie-Durette, founded in 2007 by Jean Joly. 30 ha over 7 crus (Regnie, Morgon, Fleurie, Moulin-a-Vent...). Reasoned viticulture, organic conversion since 2018.
A recent history, an innovative spirit. It was in 2007, in Regnie-Durette, that Jean Joly decided to found Château de Durette, driven by the desire to produce great Beaujolais wines. A modern stainless-steel vat room was quickly built, offering the best winemaking conditions.
The estate today works 30 hectares of vines spread over the most prestigious appellations of the region. Behind each cuvee, a close-knit, passionate Belgian-French team, Anna, Andre and Marc, with one credo: to offer wines 'to drink', accessible, generous and faithful to their origins.

Beaujolais wines of multiple expressions
Château de Durette offers a rich, diverse range: seven Beaujolais crus (Regnie, Julienas, Fleurie, Moulin-a-Vent, Chenas, Morgon, Cote de Brouilly), a Beaujolais Blanc and a Beaujolais Villages Rosé, as well as traditional-method sparkling wines (Cremant de Bourgogne and Bulles Roses). Each wine expresses its personality, perfumed, structured, fruity or delicately floral, all sharing the same demand: to reflect their terroir with sincerity and elegance.
A diverse, respectful vineyard
Since its creation, the estate has been committed to a reasoned viticulture, attentive to the vine and its environment. The harvest is carried out manually, guaranteeing a precise selection of the grapes and a winemaking respectful of the raw material. Since 2018, part of the vineyard has been undergoing conversion to organic farming, confirming the will to combine quality and sustainability.
The Beaujolais crus by Château de Durette
Régnié
AOC Régnié - red (Gamay)
The estate's home cru: elegant, ruby red, with aromas of cherry and small red fruits enhanced by a spicy, floral touch. Structured yet delicate, often nicknamed the 'feminine wine' of the Beaujolais. Also in Cote de Durette, Vieilles Vignes and oak-aged.
Morgon
AOC Morgon - red (Gamay)
Sturdy and powerful, it expresses all the richness of its schist and eruptive-rock soils. The famous Cote du Py climat gives wines for keeping of great intensity: it is often said that Morgon 'morgonne'.
Moulin-à-Vent
AOC Moulin-à-Vent - red (Gamay)
Nicknamed the 'lord of the Beaujolais': sturdy and complex, its aromas of violet, cherry and spices evolve towards truffle and musk. A wine for keeping par excellence, able to age more than 10 years.
The estate also produces Chenas (the rarest of the crus, oak-aged, power and elegance), Julienas (generous and fleshy, violet and cinnamon), Cote de Brouilly (a purple robe, delicate and nervy) and Fleurie (finesse and elegance, floral aromas, fleshy and silky).
