Domaine Jules Desjourneys, the Beaujolais's greatest specialist !

After having founded and run a company specialized in the distribution of wines from Burgundy, Fabien Duperray decided then to engage in a new adventure : become a winemaker. He acquired old vines terroirs back in 2007 and created the Domaine Jules Desjourneys, which has been producing excellent Beaujolais wines since then, worthy of the best grands crus. And to produce such high-quality wines, he chose to engage his production into biodynamics. Year after year, he has been sharpening his approach, experiencing several things, questioning his very own practices and his decisions as well. He does seem to have found his way now and his cuvées definitely stand out on the Beaujolais market.

A vineyard under the banner of biodynamics

The Domaine Jules Desjourneys is located in La-Chapelle-de-Guinchay and is manually cultivated in accordance with biodynamics principles. Fabien Duperray relies first on common sense : he does not use any synthetic product – a rule that applies to his vineyard and tanks – and tills the soils with a pickaxe, a hoist or a light tractor. The weeding is operated manually as well as the grapes picking and sorting. One meticulous and rigorous labor that takes some time but allows Fabien Duperray to produce excellent wines and remain devoted to his initial desire : show everyone that Beaujolais appellation goes along with high quality. And thanks to his latest collaboration with the Domaine Thibert, he was able to diversify by producing white wines from Mâconnais.
