ORGANIC CERTIFIEDPierres Dorees
Jean-Paul Brun's Domaine des Terres Dorees produces unfined, unfiltered Beaujolais and Cru wines using organic farming and a no-animal-fining approach. The estate's wines are unchaptalized and carry no fining agents of animal origin, making the range suitable for vegan drinkers. This is documented on the producer's own site and confirmed on bottle back labels.
Tip: Terres Dorees L'Ancien is widely distributed through organic-focused wine merchants across France and internationally, and is well-priced for a vegan natural Beaujolais.
Biodynamic PracticingORGANIC CERTIFIEDMorgon
Domaine Lapierre vinifies without fining agents of animal origin; the estate's natural and biodynamic approach involves no addition of animal-derived products in either vinification or cellar treatments. Vegan status is consistent with the zero-sulphur, zero-filtration, zero-chaptalisation protocol documented by the domaine.
Tip: Lapierre Morgon is widely distributed through natural-wine importers globally; the entry Morgon and the cuvee Marcel Lapierre are both vegan-produced.
Biodynamic PracticingORGANIC CERTIFIEDMorgon
Domaine Lapierre produces two cuvees of Morgon: one with a minimal sulphite addition at bottling and one with no sulphites added at any stage of production. The sans soufre bottling is available in small quantities and requires cool storage throughout transport and at home. It is the canonical low-sulphite Beaujolais and the wine Marcel Lapierre used to prove that natural Gamay was viable commercially.
Tip: The Lapierre sans soufre cuvee is distinguishable by a faint label marking; store at below 15 degrees and drink within two years of vintage for maximum freshness.
Biodynamic PracticingORGANIC CERTIFIEDMorgon
Jean Foillard vinifies all his Morgon cuvees with zero or near-zero sulphur additions, following the Chauvet protocol. The Cote du Py and Corcelette bottlings are both natural-sulphite wines in the sense that no sulphur dioxide is added during vinification or at bottling; only trace amounts from fermentation may be present. They are the low-sulphite reference for Morgon after Lapierre.
Tip: Foillard's low-sulphite Morgon is slightly more stable than Lapierre's zero-sulphite bottling and handles modest temperature variation better in transit; both benefit from cool-chain handling.
Biodynamic PracticingORGANIC CERTIFIEDMorgon
Damien Coquelet, stepson of Jean Foillard and the next generation of Morgon natural-wine producers, vinifies his Morgon and Chiroubles without sulphur additions using whole-cluster semi-carbonic maceration. His wines reflect the continuation of the Chauvet tradition into the 2020s.
Tip: Coquelet represents the natural-wine torch passed from the Gang of Four to younger Beaujolais growers; his Chiroubles and Morgon are available through Cave des Papilles in Paris and their international distribution partners.
Biodynamic PracticingORGANIC CERTIFIEDMorgon
Domaine Lapierre in Villié-Morgon farms organically and applies biodynamic practices, continuing under sons Mathieu and Camille Lapierre with the same zero-sulphur winemaking approach established by Marcel Lapierre. The domaine is the founding estate of the natural Beaujolais movement and internationally recognised as a natural-wine reference.
Tip: The Lapierre non-sulphite cuvee and the sulphite version are both biodynamically farmed; choose the non-sulphite bottling only if you can ensure cold storage and near-term consumption.
