Domaine Nesme: A Gem in Beaujolais

Domaine Nesme: A Family Tradition in Beaujolais

Located in the picturesque Beaujolais mountains of France, Domaine Nesme is a family-owned winery run by Mickael and Alain Nesme. With generations of experience, the Nesme family is dedicated to producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. Since 2019, the estate has proudly held a level 3 HEV certification, showcasing their commitment to sustainable agricultural practices and environmental stewardship. Their wines have garnered numerous accolades, including prestigious awards at the Concours Agricole de Paris in 2020. Beaujolais is renowned for its vibrant red wines made from the Gamay grape, making it a distinctive region focused on a single varietal.

Sustainable Practices in the Vineyard

Domaine Nesme's vineyards span approximately 16 hectares, encompassing AOC Beaujolais villages, Cote de Brouilly, and Morgon Cote de Py. The estate is situated near the Brouilly Mountains, specifically in Quincie, Cercie, Odenas, and Saint Lager. The region's clay-rich soil and abundant sunshine contribute to the stable structure of their wines. By employing organic and sustainable practices, Domaine Nesme preserves the natural environment and ensures the health of their vineyards for future generations. The Gamay grape, celebrated for its fresh and fruity character, is the primary focus for their award-winning red and white wines. Controlled fermentation occurs at regulated temperatures, and the wines are aged in stainless steel tanks to achieve their desired qualities.
