Château des Vergers, established in 1604, sits in the heart of Beaujolais-Lantignié—a region increasingly recognized for its exceptional terroir and commitment to sustainable, high-quality winemaking. At the helm is Cosima Bassouls, a passionate advocate for ecological practices who is redefining what Beaujolais can be. With a vision rooted in harmony between nature and vineyard, Cosima has transformed the 6-hectare estate through organic and regenerative farming, emphasizing biodiversity with agroforestry techniques and rotating cover crops.
Cosima sees Lantignié as the future of Beaujolais, where wines can be both expressive and sustainably produced. Her dedication to minimal-intervention winemaking lets the unique pink granite and blueschist soils of the region shine, resulting in Gamay wines with purity, depth, and character. By combining traditional practices with forward-thinking environmental stewardship, Château des Vergers is not only producing outstanding wines but also setting a standard for the region’s evolution in ecological viticulture.
Cosima’s work at Château des Vergers has positioned the estate—and the Beaujolais-Lantignié region itself—as leaders in the movement toward sustainable, terroir-driven wines.
