WHO?
Frédéric Berne has always felt a deep connection to the land surrounding him. Inspired by his parents and drawn to the ability of wines to express their terroir, he decided to become a winemaker. After spending several years in southern Burgundy, Frédéric embarked on his own journey in 2013. Inspired by the diversity of granite soils in Lantignié, Frédéric materialized his ideas in the heart of the village, on the foundations of Château de Vergers.
WHERE?
He owns 6 hectares of vineyards located between Beaujolais Villages, Morgon, and Chiroubles, currently undergoing conversion to organic farming. Lantignié ‘Granit Rose’ is a blend of different plots situated on granite soil in Lantignié, a town in the western part of Beaujolais. The variation in the granite parent rock with a quartz mineral component gives the wines unparalleled elegance and precision.
WHY?
Frédéric’s Beaujolais villages, but from the specific location of Lantingnié, are highly valued for their deep color and intense aromas. Gamay grapes from the granite soils of Lantingnié are particularly esteemed. The grapes are processed in the traditional Beaujolais style: carbonic maceration and whole clusters (without destemming) ferment with indigenous yeasts. Floral (violet) and fruity (red and black berries) notes alternate in a long, mineral-spiced finish.
