3 low sulfite spots in Beaujolais, editor-picked by Cork & Curve. All dietary guides in Beaujolais.
Domaine Lapierre Morgon sans soufre (no-sulphur cuvee) ★ 4.9
Morgon · Villié-Morgon, 69910, France
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.
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.
Jean Foillard Morgon (sans soufre) ★ 4.8
Morgon · Villié-Morgon, 69910, France
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.
Damien Coquelet Morgon (sans soufre) ★ 4.5
Morgon · Villié-Morgon, 69910, France
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.
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.
