Lapins Des Vignes

Raphaël Beysang comes from Alsace, the son of restaurant owners and grandson of a winegrower. He had the good fortune to begin his training with Patrick Meyer, then moved on to Jean-Marc Dreyer where he met Vincent Marie and decided to follow him to Auvergne. It was there that he met Patrick Bouju, with whom he worked until he decided to leave the region and begin his project in Beaujolais. Emélie Hurtubise is Canadian. During a trip to Japan, she met Justine Loiseau, Patrick Bouju's wife, and followed her to Auvergne where, in the cellar, she was called to replace Raphaël himself. That meeting was only the beginning of their new path. The couple settled in Saint Germain Nuelles in 2017 and now own around 8 hectares of vineyards, all managed biodynamically, most of which they vinify, with the exception of a few lots that they sell to friends in Auvergne. 100% gamay on various soil types: clay, limestone, granite, bluestone. The very clear vision and strong principles involve a lot of dedication and hard work in the vineyards, followed by 'zero-zero' transformation/production of wine.
