Racine Gamay Estates

The story of Racine Gamay

It all started in 2019, on the roads of western France: Baptiste and Steeve, childhood friends, set out to present their cuvées by each selling the other’s wines. Together with Sylvain Tête, they created Racine Gamay. Today, the collective brings together eight independent estates, each with their own vines, vinifications, bottlings, and more than 80 terroir cuvées from Beaujolais and the Mâconnais.

Benefits

The benefits of Racine Gamay

Over 50 terroir-driven cuvées

A wide range of wines from our Beaujolais and Mâconnais estates, with varied styles, identities and terroirs that truly represent our regions.

Authentic, honest wines

No négociant, no outside wine purchases. All wines come exclusively from our estates and reflect the work, tradition and expertise of each winemaker.

A simpler, more human relationship

Despite multiple estates, you keep a single point of contact. Communication is smoother and more responsive.

Optimized logistics

Orders can be consolidated to a single delivery or pickup location, simplifying organization and reducing transport costs.

Centralized management

A single invoice and simplified tracking, even when multiple estates are involved.

A free, friendly selection

You build your range to suit your needs and preferences, with different wines but always in the same spirit of authenticity, terroir and conviviality.

Vintage wines, year after year

No smoothed-out taste from one year to the next. Each vintage tells the story of its year, its weather, and faithfully reflects what nature and the winemaker have given.

Our motto

Quality – Conviviality – Responsiveness

More than 50 cuvées from Brouilly to Saint-Amour, from Morgon to Pouilly-Fuissé. Characterful reds, mineral whites, crémants and festive bubbles. There is a Racine Gamay wine for every moment!

The collective

Wine producers coming together

Each grows their own vines, vinifies in their own way, signs their cuvées, but all share the same conviction: Gamay and Chardonnay, on the granite and limestone soils of our regions, produce characterful wines that deserve to be known.

Together, we champion respectful viticulture, sincere winemaking, and a deep connection to our terroirs. Here, there are no ready-made recipes: each bottle tells a place, a vintage, a personality.

Terroirs

All the terroirs of Beaujolais and the Mâconnais in one collective

Beaujolais has been recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark since 2018

Geosites present in the Beaujolais Crus.

This distinction recognizes the landscapes and geological sites of international importance within the territory. This project is built around three main pillars:

The preservation and conservation of geological sites
Education and awareness-raising among populations regarding their environment
Local and sustainable economic development of the territory through responsible tourism.

The “Terrasse de Chiroubles” Geosite

Within the framework of the Geopark label, “a site may be qualified as a geosite in view of its scientific interest, its rarity, its educational scope, its aesthetic value. Sites of ecological, archaeological, historical and cultural importance must necessarily be included as additional geosites representing intangible geological heritage”.

The exceptional viewpoint of the Terrasse de Chiroubles at 740 meters altitude, starting point of the Panoramic Trail of the 10 Crus (2km), offers views of the Beaujolais hillsides, the Saône valley and, in clear weather, the Alps mountain range dominated by Mont Blanc.
