André et Florent Berrod
" We want to make wines that are perfect with food "
THE DOMAIN
This wine domaine was created in 2010 and is run by Florent Berrod assisted by his father André. The vineyards are situated in the commune of Fleurie, in the north of Beaujolais. Domaine des Fonds cultivates 19 hectares of vines with an average age of 40 years. Some of the oldest vines, which are planted in pebbly granitic soils, are 120 years old.
All of the red wines (which make up 90% of production) are made from the Gamay varietal. The domaine is fortunate to own vines in the ‘les Garants’ climat which is one of the finest in Fleurie. The domaine is known for its rich, fruity wines.
FROM THE VINE TO THE WINE
The Fleurie terroir consists of 7 hectares on pink granite soil. The domaine is lucky enough to have vines in the "Les Garants" climat, undoubtedly one of Fleurie’s finest. The wines are rich and fruity.
The Saint Amour vines are planted on 7 hectares of schistose clay, on the “Champs Grillé” and “Côte de Besset” terroirs, producing meaty, complex and fruity wines.
Florent and André look for density in their wines and therefore like to harvest their grapes "a little later". The Burgundy-style vinification is carried out in their new winery. The grapes are destemmed and then fermented in concrete tanks. Florent and André alternate punching down the cap with pumping over operations during maceration, which lasts for 14-18 days according to the vintage. The wine is then aged in concrete tanks for 10 months.
