Notes from the winemaker:
Maison Passot is a small 11 hectare family property spread over 4 crus in Beaujolais. Owners Dominique, Rémy and Simon continue the family tradition, going back
generations. The family tends 21 plots - half of which are in Chiroubles, one quarter in Morgon, and smaller holdings in Fleurie and Régnié - in addition to some Viognier vines. All farming follows strict tenets of la lutte raisonnée for a more “natural” wine, surrounded by signs of life and rich biodiversity.
Chiroubles is considered “the most Beaujolais of the Crus” with its thin
sandy, degraded granite soils (known locally as gore) that produce very delicate wines.
Passot’s plots are 50 year old vines on slopes oriented to the southeast at 300-400 meters
(the highest altitude in Beaujolais).
