Rafael Blanco
The domaine takes its name from an old tower, "La Tour des Bans" which used to stand on the spot where the winery is located today.
The domaine was already registered under this name on the land register of 1754, in the hamlet of Pizay.
Rafael Blanco took over the management of the domaine from his father, Abraham, in 1990.
The domaine’s 7 ha are mainly located in the "Grand Cras" climat. These are mostly old vines planted in the 1950s. Planted at a density of 10,000 vines/ha, they are pruned in the traditional Gobelet shape.
Rafael Blanco uses grass cover in his vineyards and follows the principles of sustainable growing.
The harvesting is carried out entirely by hand and the vinification respects the traditional Beaujolais method.
The vatting period, with the grapes in whole bunches, last 9-10 days, in order to retain freshness and acquire a delectably fruity character.
