Karine & Cyril Alonso

Marchampt, Beaujolais
Karine and Cyril Alonso are at the helm of this really tiny domaine in the Beaujolais region.
The family live and make wines in a Ampelographic Conservatory of 1.7ha of vines in Marchampt, distributed on 3 plots and regrouping 140 varieties of old grapes. 
They evolve in an “eco-lieu” surounded by 450 ha of forest.
Everything is done by hand, from harvest to labelling, in a perfect ecosphere. Vinification is made with indigenous yeast at room temperature from vines of hills in agroforestry.
Bees forage in a protected natural park while the wine ferments quietly in the cellar.
Super low intervention wines, nothing added. The living soils and biodiversity of grapes planted by Alonso’s family create precise wines full of energy.
