Domaine Bernard Jomain, a winegrower born among the vines of the Beaujolais
Domaine Bernard Jomain
A family estate of 8 hectares in Charentay, at the heart of the Beaujolais, run by Bernard Jomain since 1990. Certified HVE, Gamay grape across four appellations: Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly and Beaujolais-Villages (red, rosé, white). More than thirty-five years of vines.
Some discover the vine. Bernard Jomain was born into it. From several generations of winegrowers settled in Charentay, at the heart of the Beaujolais, he did not have to choose his path: it was already traced among the vine stocks, in the cellar, in the smell of the earth after the rain. Since 1990, he has run his estate with the constancy of those who do what they love, because they love what they do. Thirty-five years of vines. Not one too many.
A vineyard of 8 hectares across four emblematic appellations
The estate spans 8 hectares across appellations that each tell, in their own way, the identity of the Beaujolais. Everywhere, a single king grape: Gamay, which we think we know and which, well worked on the right soils, reveals a complexity many wrongly deny it. AOP Brouilly, the largest of the ten Beaujolais crus, generous, fruity, of an immediate drinkability that is anything but simple. AOP Côte de Brouilly, more confidential, more taut, nourished by the volcanic soils of Mont Brouilly. Beaujolais-Villages red and rosé, the convivial, direct expression of the terroir. And a Beaujolais-Villages White, 50 ares of Chardonnay, a confidential production that surprises pleasantly.
Working the soil with a draught horse: a philosophy, not a slogan
In some young plots, Bernard made a decision that says a lot about his philosophy: bringing back the draught horse to work the soil mechanically, where the root system has not yet reached its full depth. Concrete result: earth that breathes better, earthworms that return, roots that go deeper, and a terroir that expresses itself with more clarity in the glass. Less intervention, more truth. The estate is certified HVE (High Environmental Value).

A family estate handed down from generation to generation
Bernard works his vines alone, full time. For pruning, summer work and the harvest, seasonal workers come to lend a hand. But the soul of the estate is the family: Patricia, his wife, supports him generously despite her own outside work, and their daughters Hélène and Delphine extend this family presence every day. Here, the vine is not only a production tool: it is a land to hand down, a know-how, respect for the soil, the vision of a craft practised with integrity. Winemaking, cellar ageing, tasting, selection, bottling: every step takes place on the property, under Bernard's eye and hand, for the consistency of a style recognisable from one vintage to the next.
The cuvees of Domaine Bernard Jomain
From the Brouilly (Les Demoiselles, Les Poètes, Cuvée Bacchus) to the Côte de Brouilly (Cuvée des Héritières), from the Beaujolais-Villages reds (Trèfles, Pêcher, La Pièce du Père Michel) to the rare Beaujolais-Villages White in Chardonnay, a range of terroir Gamay, shipped direct from the estate's cellar.
Brouilly: Les Demoiselles, Les Poètes, Cuvée Bacchus
AOP Brouilly - the largest of the ten Beaujolais crus
Three Brouilly cuvees in Gamay: Les Demoiselles, supple and fruity, of immediate drinkability; Les Poètes, more structured; and Cuvée Bacchus, the most accomplished, generous and deep. The largest cru of the Beaujolais, on the soils of the sector.
Côte de Brouilly: Cuvée des Héritières
AOP Côte de Brouilly - the volcanic soils of Mont Brouilly
La Cuvée des Héritières, a Gamay nourished by the volcanic soils of Mont Brouilly: more minerality, tension and depth than the Brouilly. A confidential appellation, taut and refined, a sharp expression of the terroir.
Beaujolais-Villages Red: Trèfles, Pêcher, Père Michel
AOP Beaujolais-Villages - the convivial expression of Gamay
Three cuvees in Beaujolais-Villages red: La Cuvée du Pêcher, direct and gourmet; La Cuvée des Trèfles, fruity and convivial, certified HVE; and La Pièce du Père Michel, the single-plot cuvee, more ambitious. Made for shared tables and simple pleasures.
Beaujolais-Villages White & Rosé
AOP Beaujolais-Villages - 50 ares of Chardonnay
The estate's most confidential production: a Beaujolais-Villages White from 50 ares of Chardonnay, which surprises pleasantly and deserves to be known; and a Beaujolais-Villages Rosé, direct and convivial, for shared tables and aperitifs.
Working the soil with a draught horse
An HVE viticulture, in harmony with nature
In some young plots, Bernard has brought back the draught horse to work the soil mechanically: earth that breathes better, earthworms that return, roots that go deeper. Certified HVE, a viticulture respectful of biodiversity.
