They produce a total of 20 micro-cuvées – each wine representing a plot, and a winemaker.
Glou des Brets is produced from grapes purchased in the Beaujolais region , in the village of Lantignié, a neighbour of the Régnié vintage. The winemaking process is carried out without the use of sulphur until bottling. Gamay grapes are vinified using carbonic maceration .
