A family estate since 1904

The Domaine du Petit Pérou is located in the Beaujolais vineyard, 400 km south of Paris and 50 km north of Lyon.

Today, Hugo is associated with his parents (Sarah & Laurent) on a 14 hectare.

We craft our wines from grapes selected and produced in sustainable cultivation, while developing a progressive organic conversion.

Our soils come from four diversity of composition:

 - Clay-siliceous soils, resulting from the weathering of granite rocks to the north and north-west of the wine-growing area. (Brouilly Pisse Vieille)

 - Clay soils resulting from the alteration of metamorphic rocks (schists rich in manganese and blue stones), on the formations which occupy the center and the east and in particular the hill of Py (Morgon Vieilles Vignes and Morgon Côte du Py)

 - Varied sandy loam or alluvial soils. Sandy-clayey-silty when the slope decreases, the parent rock is covered by colluvium from the slopes, the soils thicken, become enriched in clays and fine sands and silts, alluvial, more clayey and stony on the ancient river terraces of Quaternary age. (Morgon Tradition)

 - Deeper soils, clay and clay-limestone in the south of the geographical area. They emerge on the limestone sedimentary substrate. (Beaujolais "Tu m'tiens au jus and white Burgundy)

Beaujolais has a temperate climate with a continental tendency. The foothills of the Massif Central protect the vineyard from ocean disturbances and moderate the Mediterranean influence.

We have a wide range of wines from 3 grape varieties (Gamay, Chardonnay or Syrah).

We vinify our white (Beaujolais and Bourgogne blanc) at low temperature in order to keep a constant freshness, finesse and aromatic complexity in our wines.

Our red wines (Brouilly Pisse Vieille, Morgon Tradition, Morgon Vieilles Vignes, Morgon Côte du Py and Syrah (100%) are vinified from natural yeast, with carbonic or semi-carbonic maceration depending on the desired vintage.
