Romain Zordan, young gun and innovator of Château de Grand Pré, took over the winemaking at his parent’s Domaine in Fleurie in 2012, and shares the facility with his also 'not-so-unknown' cousin Yann Bertrand. The 8 ha estate vineyards are certified organic since 2009, with an average vine age of 60+ years.
Being a great advocate of Jules Chauvet, the ‘godfather’ of natural winemaking, Romain applies organic and biodynamic principals throughout the process and keeps the amount of sulphur to a bare minimum. Besides the Beaujolais AOC, Domaine Château de Grand Pré also produces Fleurie, Morgon and Brouilly Grand Crus.
