Jean-Claude Lapalu assumed control of just under 30 acres of Gamay from his father in 1996, and made his first commercial wines in 2000. His eight parcels of east and southeast facing vines are scattered from Mont Brouilly south through the rolling hills of Odenas and his hometown of Saint-Etienne-la-Varenne. Jean-Claude's most significant early influence came from the writings of Jules Chauvet, France's Father of Natural Winemaking. Jean-Claude produces small lots of six distinct Gamays, each expressing different aspects of the Haut-Beaujolais' diverse geology.
