Prunelle de Navacelle is a trailblazing vigneronne in the emerging Beaujolais-Lantignié region. She produces small lots of her personal project at her family’s Château du Basty, home of the Perroud family since 1482. Prunelle farms old vines with regenerative agroecology methods to encourage biodiversity while fighting climate change.
Located just north of Brouilly, west of Régnié, and less than one kilometer from the border of Morgon, Lantignié is a gem of a village that reminds us in some ways of what the Côte des Bar is to Champagne: an underdog that’s a hot spot of untapped potential. Lantignié has great geological complexity in the subsoils, with vineyards consisting of pink granite and volcanic blueschist (pierres bleues). It also has a diverse landscape with vines planted on rolling hills, bisected by streams, and bordered by woodland. It is an ideal place to make the elegant, transparent, natural wines that define Prunelle’s style.
