The winemaker

Beaujolais and respect for the terroir


It was in 1999, after working in biochemistry and cooking, that Christophe Pacalet decided to create the domaine "Les Marcellins" with the help of his renowned uncle Marcel Lapierre. Naturally, the estate is located in the Beaujolais region south of Villié-Morgon.

Once established, Christophe Pacalet selects parcels of old vines, which he cultivates with care and attention, respecting the terroir and nature. Harvested by hand, the grapes are picked at optimum ripeness and transported in small crates to preserve their quality as much as possible. In the winery, the wines are vinified without the use of inputs or sulfur.

This ethic was acquired through the legacy of his uncle Marcel Lapierre, a great emblem of natural wines in the Beaujolais region.

Wines typical of the terroir


From this love of nature and terroir comes typical wines expressing the different facets of the region's emblematic grape variety: Gamay. No fewer than ten appellations are produced by Christophe Pacalet, expressing Gamay in as many different ways.

Wines are produced under the following appellations: Beaujolais-Villages, Julienas, Côte de Brouilly, Moulin-à-vent, Chiroubles, Saint-Amour, Chenas, Beaujolais Blanc, Fleurie and Beaujolais Nouveau.

You can have the pleasure of tasting a 2019 AOC Côte de Brouilly. Its color is bright and attractive, clean ruby. Its nose is fresh, delicately fruity in blueberry, blackberry and plum tones. It's a fruity, joyful wine.
