Vignobles Victoire d Affaux

Vignobles Victoire d'Affaux

A Beaujolais family estate, cultivated since 1691 and today run by Gauthier Rebillard d'Affaux, the 14th generation. 9 hectares across the Moulin-a-Vent, Fleurie and Saint-Amour crus, plus a Bourgogne Blanc. Gamay for ageing on granite soils and mineral Chardonnay, in reasoned viticulture, certified HVE.

At the heart of the Beaujolais, there are estates that make wine, and families that live for it. Since 1691, the Vignobles Victoire d'Affaux have cultivated the vine with constancy, demand and a deep attachment to their land. Today run by Gauthier Rebillard d'Affaux, the 14th generation, the estate carries on a rare heritage: that of an authentic, structured and deeply alive Beaujolais. Over 9 hectares, between Moulin-a-Vent, Fleurie, Saint-Amour and Bourgogne Blanc, each plot is worked to reveal what the terroir has most sincere to offer.

A sustainable, committed viticulture

The Vignobles Victoire d'Affaux work in reasoned viticulture, with a gradual return to agroforestry. The aim is clear: to preserve the soils, encourage biodiversity and produce grapes of impeccable quality. The HVE label (High Environmental Value) confirms this commitment: fewer inputs, more observation, more respect for the living. Because a great wine always begins in the vineyard.

The Moulin-à-Vent wines

Les Perrelles, Clos des Greneriers, Dumas, Valentine - Gamay

The estate's core range, on the granite cru of Moulin-a-Vent: Les Perrelles (expressive, crunchy red fruits), Clos des Greneriers (structure, concentration, length - HVE), Dumas (elegant and refined, fine tannins, black fruit, for ageing) and Valentine (fresh, delicate, on the fruit).

Cuvée Athénaïs

AOC Saint-Amour - a charming Gamay

A charming Saint-Amour, fruity, supple and accessible, rated 5/5 by enthusiasts. It seduces with its balance and freshness: one of the finest gateways into the Beaujolais crus.

Cuvée Barthélémy

AOC Fleurie - a generous Gamay

A generous Fleurie, round and convivial, perfect for meals among friends. The floral finesse of the Fleurie cru, in a gourmet, immediate style.

Bourgogne Chardonnay

AOC Bourgogne - a taut, mineral white

A taut, luminous white, with floral and citrus notes and fine minerality. Chardonnay brings freshness, tension and finesse; ideal as an aperitif or with fish.

The Gamay and Chardonnay of the Beaujolais

Granite soils, altitude, low yields

Here, Gamay is not a light wine: it is precise, deep, capable of ageing. The granite soils, altitude, exposure and low yields give wines that are fruity yet structured, elegant yet powerful, gourmet yet complex. Chardonnay, for its part, brings freshness and mineral finesse.
