Jean-Claude Lapalu works biodynamically with 60-80 year old Gamay vines in Saint-Etienne-la-Varenne near Brouilly. Vinifying without sulphur (some cuvées receive a small dose at bottling), he produces elegant, ethereal Beaujolais which has put him firmly on the map as a worthy successor to the famed natural producers this region is known for.

We are delighted to receive Jean-Claude's Beaujolais Villages Nouveau again in 2026, and in both bottle and magnum.

*Please note that this is a pre-order, with all orders containing Beaujolais Nouveau dispatched with a scheduled delivery date of Thursday November 19th, Beaujolais Nouveau Day 2026.
