The wine
White Beaujolais is a genuine rarity: Chardonnay accounts for barely two per cent of the region plantings, most of it in the north where Beaujolais meets the Mâconnais.
Grown on the same granite as the Gamay, it gives a leaner and more mineral wine than the limestone Chardonnay of Burgundy proper, and it is usually made without oak so the fruit reads directly. Dominique Morel farms 18 hectares across Beaujolais, planted on the pink granite that underlies the ten crus.

View all Dominique Morel winesIn the granite hills of Beaujolais, Dominique Morel crafts bright, honest Gamay with real charm. A grower with deep roots in the region, he works its celebrated crus and villages with care. The focus here is on pure, fruit-driven wines.
Careful farming and a light touch in the cellar preserve the perfume and freshness that make Beaujolais so joyful. Whole-bunch fermentation lends lift and silk. The style is bright, supple, and thoroughly drinkable.
The range spans easy Beaujolais-Villages, a fresh Chardonnay, and the floral crus of Fleurie and Chiroubles. Each captures the granite-driven charm of the region.
To pour a Dominique Morel wine is to taste Beaujolais at its most joyful. Bright, perfumed, and endlessly drinkable, these are wines made for good times.
