3 organic spots in Beaujolais, editor-picked by Cork & Curve. All dietary guides in Beaujolais.
Jean Foillard ★ 4.8
Morgon · Villié-Morgon, 69910, France
Jean Foillard farms his Morgon holdings organically and applies biodynamic practices in the vineyard without formal Demeter certification. As one of the founding Gang of Four producers alongside Marcel Lapierre, Foillard's Cote du Py and Corcelette bottlings are vinified without sulphur and without filtration, making his estate an organic reference for the Morgon appellation.
Tip: Foillard's wines are exported through Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant in the United States and through a network of natural-wine importers in Europe; contact an importer to arrange a domaine visit.
Domaine du Vissoux ★ 4.5
Saint-Vérand · Le Vissoux, 69620 Saint-Vérand, France
Pierre-Marie and Chantal Chermette farm all of Domaine du Vissoux's holdings organically, certified under the French AB label. The estate's Gobelet-trained old Gamay vines in Saint-Vérand and the Fleurie lieux-dits of Poncié and Garants are vinified without sulphur addition and without filtration, producing wines that are organic in the vineyard and natural in the cellar.
Tip: The Vissoux Beaujolais AOC is well-priced for an organic Gamay; the step up to the Fleurie Poncié shows what certified organic old-vine Gamay can produce on a granite terroir.
Chateau Thivin ★ 4.6
Cote de Brouilly · 630 Route du Mont Brouilly, 69460 Odenas, France
Chateau Thivin in Odenas farms its Cote de Brouilly vineyards organically, certified under the French AB label, and applies biodynamic practices without Demeter certification.
Tip: Chateau Thivin's Cote de Brouilly shows structured volcanic-soil Gamay character; the organic certification is verifiable on the producer's site and on the bottle back label.
