Saint Etienne La Varenne, France
Domaine Jean-Claude Lapalu
Domaine Jean- Lapalu is a small Beaujolais domaine in Saint Etienne La Varenne, built around old-vine Gamay, organic farming and low-intervention cellar work. The appeal is not polished hospitality but a close reading of granite, sandy-granite soils and Brouilly-adjacent hillside viticulture through wines made with little or no sulfur.
