Domaine Sandrine Henriot Beaujolais Villages 2019

Sandrine Henriot produces Biodynamic Regnié, Morgon and Beaujolais-Villages from her 3.3 hectares of hillside vineyards spread out over 4 different plots in the vicinity of Villié-Morgon. Having learned the trade in her native Burgundy, she moved in 2016, along with her husband and infant, into a centuries old stone house up the valley from Villié Morgon on the outskirts of the tiny hamlet of Châtillons. She’d made the move in order to take over the biodynamic vineyards of Roland Pignard. A natural winemaking pioneer in his own right, Pignard had inherited his family estate in the late 1970s and immediately turned to organic farming. Those vineyards would go on to become biodynamic (certified Demeter) in 2010 and it was with Pignard’s guidance that Sandrine crafted her first vintage in 2017.



The vineyards, which are over 60 years old, sit at some of the higher altitudes in the Morgon appellation on steep hillsides. All of the ploughing and tilling is done using horse-drawn sheers. This ensures that the soil is not as compacted making it possible for micro-biotic life to develop and the for the vines’ roots to delve down deeper, drawing up more of the terroir’s characteristics. This work in the vineyard combined with the higher altitude of the plots are some of the factors that Sandrine sights in lending her wines their delightfully expressive freshness and perfectly balanced acidity. Vinification is done with wild yeast and only a tiny amount of SO2 is added at bottling. The resulting wines are beautifully alive, elegant, silky and true to their nature. 


Tasting notes

Sandrine’s  2019 Beaujolais-Villages shows a deep red color with aromas of ripe cherry and red currant, with black fruits on the palate and a finish with deep fruits.
