Château de l’Éclair: A 19th Century Gem

He revitalized the land by replanting it with vines, setting the stage for the winery's success. Today, winemaker Michaël Larras continues this legacy, producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of Beaujolais.

Very nice discovery and tasting of the castle's wines. A wide range of wines, very gourmet, fruity with nice surprises like Beaujolais Blanc, surprising grape varieties like Gamaret or even a slightly sweet Muscat wine! I recommend 100%.
