About Du Grappin Saint-Amour

There are figures who transform wine forever. One such individual was Jules Chauvet, a pioneer of natural wine, whose notebooks, patience, and passion inspired entire generations of bold young enthusiasts. People who believe in a freer, more authentic, and closer connection to wine. Individuals like Andrew and Emma Nielsen, the creators of Le Grappin.

Le Grappin was established in 2011 with a clear vision: to give a voice to the forgotten vineyards of Burgundy. Andrew had previously worked with some of the greats in pinot noir and chardonnay in California, Central Otago, the Yarra Valley, and, of course, Burgundy. However, his pursuit was not to follow the mainstream, but to seek authenticity where few others looked.

But that's not all. Once rediscovering secluded vineyards in Burgundy, they expanded their territory with a fresher, more relaxed line, Du Grappin, crafted with grapes from Beaujolais, the Mâconnais, and the Rhône.

A prime example is Du Grappin Saint-Amour, a gamay originating from a place called La Grande Charrière, on soils of alluvial granite, schist, and clay. A terroir that offers aromatic intensity and structure, which the Nielsens skillfully preserve through their artisanal approach in the winery.

For vinification, they draw direct inspiration from Chauvet's 1972 fermentation notes. The hand-harvested clusters are placed whole into the vat, without being crushed, pumped over, or punched down. Over three weeks, the wine undergoes natural fermentation in what Chauvet termed aromatic fermentation, a process that aims to preserve the fullest expression of the fruit, freshness, and the most delicate nuances.

Once this phase is complete, a gentle pressing is carried out. The wine finishes its fermentation in the tank, followed by a 20-month maturation period, allowing time to work its magic without unnecessary interventions. The entire process is conducted with a philosophy of minimal intervention, avoiding any fining or filtration before bottling.

The result is Du Grappin Saint-Amour, a pure, vibrant wine with character and without embellishment. A gamay that clearly speaks of its origin and the respect with which it has been crafted. Because there is another way to make wine. And it is no longer the future… it is the present.
