Domaine des 4 Vents is a small, family-run estate based in the heart of Villié-Morgon, now in the hands of sisters Lucie and Nancy Gauthier. The domaine has been organic since 2006 and fully biodynamic since 2020, with a focus on careful farming, indigenous fermentations and restrained use of sulphur. Their parcels lie mainly on the granitic and sandy soils of Morgon and Fleurie, though they also produce a few wines labelled as Vin de France that allow greater freedom in technique and expression. With just seven hectares under vine, everything is done by hand, and the domaine is increasingly recognised for its understated, precise, and soulful take on Beaujolais.
Hegoa is a Vin de France bottling of 100 percent Gamay, made from young vines in granitic soils around Villié-Morgon and vinified with a lighter touch than the domaine’s cru bottlings. The 2022 vintage was hot and early but with sufficient rainfall in spring and a gentle harvest window that preserved freshness and balance. The grapes were fermented whole bunch with indigenous yeasts, followed by ageing in concrete for several months before bottling without fining or filtration. The result is vibrant and juicy with notes of raspberry, redcurrant, soft spice and a lick of crushed granite. Light in body but structured in feel, it is joyful, immediate and incredibly moreish.
