Situated in Chénas, in the North of Beaujolais, the GUÉRET estate has belonged for several generations to the Favre-Curtelin family, the family of Catherine Delaunay. It spreads over 13 hectares: 3.4 hectares in Saint-Germain-sur-l'Arbresle within the Beaujolais appellation and around 10 hectares within the Moulin-à-Vent appellation, in a place called La Bruyère. This South-facing vineyard planted with old Gamay vines, has one of the best soils of this appellation. The steep slopes make any mechanical exploitation virtually impossible and require permanent work to fight erosion. Produced with limited yields and harvested by hand, the grapes are processed as bunches, according to the traditional method of the Beaujolais, and then the wine is partially matured in oak casks in cellars dating from the 18th century. Since 2005, Catherine Delaunay-Favre, recognized as one of the best oenologists of her generation, oversees the wine making and maturing process. The recent death of her father led her to also supervise the whole wine production. Under her watchful eye, the wines of the estate have obtained many awards over recent years. The Beaujolais wine is rich and velvety and the Moulin-à-Vent profound, with flavours of iris and violet, hints of liquorice and elegant tannins that give it good ageing potential.
