Grower: Domaine Les GarconsRegion: Bouilly, Beaujolais, FranceGrape Varieties: GamayViticulture: Practicing Biodynamic, OrganicCategory: RedSize: 750 ml  Loïc Crispin and Fabien Pinguet of DOMAINE LES GARCONS are two friends who have taken over a portion of Loïc’s family’s vineyards in the village of Charentay, within the Brouilly appellation, and established their domaine in 2020. In advance of their first vintage, they converted all of their parcels to biodynamic farming, gaining Demeter certification in 2021. The duo is actively engaging with agroforestry, planting trees and hedges in the vineyards to improve biodiversity, provide shade to the vines, and lower yields. They are also implementing more cover crops to help recolonize the fauna and flora in the soil and reduce the amount of tilling required. Loïc and Fabien inherited very old vines for their domaine, with an average around 45 years old, including a 1ha parcel planted in 1919 that goes into their spectacular Beaujolais-Vi
