Jean-Claude Lapalu

This Domaine is a good example of what the new generation of growers can achieve in very little time; Jean-Claude started up in 1996 and has thrown out the rule book. Forget light insipid Beaujolais; think richness and concentration. The Fleuris Sommelier guide named him 'Grower of the Year' in 2005 and he is the first ever Beaujolais producer to get 94 Parker points.
