BRAND NAME: Marcel Lapierre
Domaine Marcel Lapierre has fast become an undisputed benchmark of Beaujolais and a driving force in the world of natural wine. Founded by Michel Lapierre at the beginning of the 20th century, Domaine Marcel Lapierre is a family run affair that has been handed down from father to son for generations. It was his grandson Marcel who brought new life to domaine as well as the wines of Beaujolais. As a great intellectual, artist and teacher, Marcel Lapierre discovered the precepts of Jules Chauvet, researcher and father of the natural wine movement, in 1981 and decided to direct the family Winery (3rd generation of winegrowers) towards gentler and less interventionist methods
