About Jean-Marc Burgaud

Domaine Jean-Marc Burgaud, established in 1989, spans 19 hectares: 13 in Morgon (including 8 on Côte du Py with 50+ year-old vines), 1 in Régnié, and 5 in Beaujolais Villages. Coming from a winemaking family, Jean-Marc combines generations of tradition with a diploma in oenology. The vineyards are farmed organically, worked by hand and horse, with dense plantings to enhance terroir expression. Jean-Marc prioritises healthy grapes, believing great wine comes from harmony between grower and land. In the cellar, he uses traditional methods: whole-cluster maceration, indigenous yeasts, and minimal intervention. Wines age in concrete or barrique and are bottled between April and August, with some cuvées lightly filtered to preserve balance and authenticity.
