Fond Moiroux estate is a wine property created in 1789. The estate is situated on Cogny, a small town in South Beaujolais and produces wines from vineyards on different places in the Beaujolais region.

The eight-hectare vineyard is situated around the building estate and produces Beaujolais AOC wine. The most important part is red wine (variety: Gamay and Pinot-Noir)), and around 4 hectare has been planted with Chardonnay in 2010, so the first white wine has been produced in 2014.

In Cogny, vineyards are planted on calcareous (chalky)-clay soils, soils from sedimentary origin (soils that are comparable to Burgundian’s ones). Vines are short-pruned to keep them growing around the trellises. With partially grass covered soils we decrease the use of herbicides and create a competition for water and minerals of soil between grass and vine.

Very fruity red wines with nice structure and smoothness are the result. As for Rosé-Cremant, fruitiness is exploding, and acidity and smoothness are well balanced in mouth.
