The wines of Elisa Guérin
The story of Elisa Guérin
A winegrower's daughter, Elisa Guérin wasn't destined to take over the family estate. Sensitive to ecology, she discovered natural wine in high school. After a degree in biological engineering in Lyon and an engineering diploma from Agrosup Dijon, she spent six months in England studying the impact of climate change on vines.
She grew up in Beaujolais alongside the children of the natural wine revolutionaries: Ophélie Dutraive, Alex Foillard, Jules Métras and Sylvain Chanudet are part of her everyday life. In 2017 she moved to Paris and worked for Terroirs d'Avenir, where she met many restaurateurs and producers.
In 2018 she joined her father Philippe on the estate and immediately imposed the switch to organic farming: "I always found it unacceptable to pollute the soil for a product meant for pleasure." The vines, which her father already ploughed, were in good health. Her 4.5 hectares in Moulin-à-Vent and Chiroubles went organic, and she also buys grapes in Beaujolais-Villages. In the cellar, no chemical additives: Elisa makes straight, complex terroir wines with great humility. A real revival in Moulin-à-Vent!
The cuvées of Elisa Guérin
Her great cuvée, the Moulin-à-Vent Les Thorins, comes from a gentle slope of sandy granite with quartz and red clay, with some time in barrel: a wine with everything to gain with age, from a terroir once as famous as Gevrey-Chambertin is today. It also comes in magnum and jeroboam.
La Vigne de mon Père, another Moulin-à-Vent, comes from the estate's oldest vines, in the family since the 1900s: a 100% Gamay made by semi-carbonic maceration with whole bunches, aged in concrete.
The Chiroubles is a Gamay full of freshness, spicy with silky fruit. The Beaujolais-Villages, from 60-year-old bought-in vines and aged 8 months unfiltered, is all fruit, crunchy and lively. Elisa also makes a Beaujolais blanc.
Straight, complex Gamays where the terroir shows in every cuvée: Elisa has won her bet!
