Saint-Cyr Estate – The Pure Expression of Beaujolais Terroirs

A Family Estate Committed to Organic Farming

Saint-Cyr Estate is a rising star in Beaujolais, run by the Saint-Cyr family for four generations. Located in Anse, at the southern gateway to Beaujolais, this family-owned estate has been practicing organic farming since 2008. Under the leadership of Raphaël Saint-Cyr, the domaine stands out for its deep respect for the land and its low-intervention winemaking, capturing the purity and energy of Gamay.

Diverse Terroirs for a Wide Range of Expressions

Saint-Cyr Estate spans approximately 27 hectares across some of Beaujolais’ most renowned appellations. The estate produces wines in Beaujolais, Beaujolais-Villages, and the crus of Morgon, Chénas, and Moulin-à-Vent. With granite, clay-limestone, and sandy soils, each terroir lends a unique character to the wines, combining finesse, fruit, and structure.

Natural and Uncompromising Winemaking

The estate follows a low-intervention philosophy in the cellar. All grapes are hand-harvested, ensuring careful selection. Fermentations occur with native yeasts, and semi-carbonic maceration is favored to enhance the wines’ vibrant fruit and freshness. Depending on the cuvée, aging takes place in tanks or barrels, adding depth and minerality to the final wines.

Fresh, Elegant, and Easy-Drinking Wines

Saint-Cyr Estate’s cuvées are recognized for their balance between approachability and refinement. The Morgon delivers structure and bold dark fruit and spice notes. The Chénas is floral and silky, while the Moulin-à-Vent offers power and excellent aging potential. The Beaujolais-Villages and Beaujolais wines provide a more accessible yet equally delightful tasting experience.
