Jean-Claude Lapalu ★ 4.6

Brouilly AOCGamayBiodynamic PracticingORGANIC CERTIFIEDNaturalBrouilly

Jean-Claude Lapalu farms eleven hectares in the Brouilly Cru with biodynamic practices and makes zero-sulphur Gamay that has attracted attention from natural-wine writers as a reference for the appellation.

Tip: Lapalu's Cuvée des Fous comes from very old Gamay vines and has more density and grip than most Brouilly; it is the bottle to seek out if you want to understand what natural Brouilly can achieve.
