The Story

I come from the slopes of Mont Brouilly in Beaujolais, where the vineyards of Côte de Brouilly rest on ancient volcanic soils known as pierre bleue. At Domaine du Pavillon de Chavannes, the focus is on crafting wines that reflect both the vitality of Gamay and the distinctive character of this remarkable terroir. My cuvée, Cuvée des Ambassades, is made with care to preserve freshness, purity of fruit, and the elegant energy that defines the best wines of the region. I carry the spirit of Beaujolais — expressive, authentic, and wonderfully inviting.

Why You’ll Love Me

I open with aromas of bright cherry, raspberry, and delicate floral notes. On the palate, I’m fresh and vibrant, offering lively red fruit balanced by silky tannins and refreshing acidity. Subtle hints of minerality and spice add depth without taking away from my easygoing charm. My finish is smooth and energetic, making me a red that’s equally at home on the dinner table or poured among friends.
