Wellcome to the Domaine de Leyre-Loup !
A few forewords
The Domaine de Leyre-Loup was created in 1993 by Jacques Lanson and its son, making the passion of wine and wine-making passion meet. It has expanded on favourable "terroirs" in the Morgon and Fleurie appellations, well-known crus of the Beaujolais, to cover 23 acres of land as of today.
Great wines deserve not only time and know-how, but also care for nature and respect of tradition. It is the combination of time, of our experience as wine makers of the property and of course of the gift of nature that gives our wines their character and savour and that make every year different with its promises and surprises, whether good or bad.
Since the very first vintage, the Domaine de Leyre-Loup has slowly grown into a prosperous family vienyard and, fore and foremost, everybody has contributed to make the Morgons and Fleuries of the Domaine a sheer pleasure for the palate.
Welcome to the Domaine de Leyre-Loup!
The Fleurie Domaine de Leyre-Loup 2012 received a gold medal at the French Independent Wineries 2013 contest.
by Richard Longman, director of the Chelsea Wine Company: "I must be honest. Some of the most disappointing wine I have ever tasted has come from Beaujolais. It is a huge region, capable of some complete dross; but in the right hands, the Gamay grape reaches absolute star status. Domaine de Leyre-Loup, established in 1993, is producing fresh and floral Fleurie as well as fruity and spicy Morgon. My choice to accompany pork or veal this summer is the Domaine de Leyre-Loup, Fleurie Réserve 2010. A vibrant violet colour, it is obviously "very cherry". Great aromas, it balances fruit and acidity to achieve a velvety finish, perfect for those long-summer evenings."
