Vineyard
Owned by the Richard family, Château de Corcelles cultivates 92 hectares of vines across several appellations: Beaujolais, Beaujolais-Villages, Brouilly, and Bourgogne Blanc. The Perréon and Charentay areas, located south of Corcelles, produce rich, round, and expressive Beaujolais-Villages, while the Pruzilly and Saint-Vérand terroirs, located north of Corcelles, are later-ripening terroirs where the Beaujolais-Villages are more elegant, fresh, and ethereal. Vinification is carried out with respect for the environment, using sustainable farming practices.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand once they have reached optimal ripeness. Vinification is partly semi-carbonic, a traditional technique in Beaujolais. Maceration lasts 6-7 days with pump-overs. Aging takes place in stainless steel tanks before bottling in the spring.
