The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Marcel Lapierre, a true pioneer, shaped a generation of winemakers and wine lovers. Long before the natural wine movement took off, he championed a new style—vibrant, fruit-driven wines that broke with convention.

In 1981, he made a bold choice: vinifying without sulfur or added yeast and embracing biodynamic farming, eliminating chemical fertilizers and herbicides—a radical approach at the time.

Today, his legacy lives on through his son Mathieu (since 2004) and daughter Camille (since 2013), who continue his work with the same meticulous care, crafting wines with unwavering respect for their 18-hectare estate.
Wine From a single hectare of vines on the famed Côte du Py, the 2023 Red Morgon Camille is a rare gem. Vinified with the same meticulous care as the estate’s traditional Morgon, it undergoes an extended maceration in 100% tronconic wooden vats, adding depth and structure. Bottled unfiltered with minimal sulfur, it reveals delicate aromas of fresh red berries and floral notes, wrapped in a texture that is both profound and refined. A pure expression of this exceptional terroir, crafted in true Lapierre style.
Vinification Hand harvested from a one-hectare plot of granite soil. Traditional Beaujolais semi-carbonic maceration, without SO2 or yeasting, for 24 days in wooden truncated cone-shaped vats. Aged in 216-litre old barrels for 9 months.
Certified organic wine.
