Welcome to the home of the eminent Beaujolais winemaker, Jean-Claude Lapalu, whose 12-hectare estate is nestled at the foot of the famous Mont Brouilly in Saint-Étienne la Varenne. In this historic bastion of natural wines, Lapalu has built his estate, mainly around Gamay, the emblematic grape variety of Beaujolais. A disciple of Jules Chauvet, he instituted a categorical refusal of any chemical input to the vineyard, favoring grassy land, reduced yields and a sparing use of sulfur.

His approach reflects his commitment to the environment. Mastering like no one else the granite soils and the unique characteristics of his eight plots of old vines, he has eliminated traditional filters such as sulfur, exogenous yeasts and chaptalization. Whether in the meticulous work of the vineyard, the precise sorting of grapes at harvest, or the gentle vinifications with spontaneous fermentations in stainless steel vats, Lapalu seeks to preserve the freshness and quintessence of the fruit.

Lapalu wines are an ode to quality. Generous, mineral and juicy, they demonstrate Lapalu's mastery of its field. Since 2008, its experiments with aging in amphorae, as with the Alma Mater cuvée, have added a new dimension to its creative palette. Beyond considerations of value for money, its wines stand out for their incomparable fruit and exceptional drinkability. Lapalu's unique viticulture and winemaking methods, respectful of nature, produce fine and mature wines, ready to be enjoyed immediately, or to be kept for several years...

Who are we ?

Created in 2010, Vinograf was taken over in July 2024 by Clara & Baptiste. With their experience with Marée Haute, they work to perpetuate Vinograf's strong commitments: a careful selection of established or novice artisan winemakers, all driven by the concern for excellence in their practices, in the magnification of terroirs and the search for authenticity of taste.

Several specifications correspond to these names. If we very often hear about sulphites, rightly accused of giving a headache, many other products can be used in the composition of so-called conventional wines.
Here is an overview of the different organic, biodynamic and natural specifications:
The organic specifications (AB label) prohibit any use of synthetic chemicals in the vineyards and in the winery. However, it allows some oenological crutches during winemaking. Sulfites, for example, are tolerated up to 100 mg/L for red wines and 150 mg/L for whites.

In biodynamics (Demeter or Biodyvin label), the winemaker not only works without synthetic chemicals, but also takes into account the lunar calendar for all the operations he carries out. He will also use biodynamic preparations (fermented horn dung, silica, plant herbal tea, etc.) to strengthen the vines. Overall, the winegrower seeks to include the cultivation of the vine in a global environment. Sulphites can go up to 70 mg/L for reds and 90 mg/L for whites.

In natural wine (Vin Method Nature label), the specifications specify the use of organic grapes, fermenting naturally using native yeasts (as in biodynamics). Natural wines see no input during all vinification and aging. Only minimum doses of SO2 are permitted (30 mg/L maximum), and must be mentioned by the winemaker. No brutal filtration or wine alteration techniques are permitted. We also find the name SAINS Wines which aims to completely prohibit the use of sulphites.

We strive to offer you wines from artisan wines, from estates on a human scale and often family-owned. And that's why we take the time to travel across France from vineyard to vineyard in search of these natural wines that thrill us.
We are particularly keen to introduce you to the new winegrowers of tomorrow who work tirelessly to offer us magnificent wines.
We want to highlight them, and allow them to have greater, clearer visibility and wish to accompany them to you!
