Cosima Bassouls is a young winemaker at the forefront of the Beaujolais’ wine region’s new generation. After years training in agro-ecology focusing on organic and regenerative agriculture, she took over her family’s estate Château des Vergers and began implementing her own systems on the vineyards. The 7 hectare estate in Beaujolais-Lantignié dates back to 1604 and is situated just 1km away from the famed Morgon cru on the Côte du Py. Château des Vergers was converted to organic farming by Cosima in 2019 and now uses cover crops and agroforestry to create natural biodiversity and healthier soil within the vineyard.

The wines they produce are quintessential Beaujolais reds; bright and fresh with that classic Gamay red fruit character alongside lots of depth and complexity.
