Thirty-nine communes (the smallest geographical administrative division) in France can claim the Beaujolais-Villages AOP (PDO).   These are the vines that border the ten Beaujolais Crus.  The appellation covers a total of 6,000 hectares of which around 110 hectares are planted in Emeringes.

With its 800 hectares, Fleurie is known for its elegance and its “feminine” character. Looking down over the village, the famous  “Madone de Fleurie” protects the vineyards.

From the blog of veganwines.com:

“Jean Francois is a down to earth man who has a very obvious passion for his vineyards and for wine making. As a family owned property across multiple generations, there is an obvious dedication to its preservation and success.

The Domain Bergeron is a 34 hectare property known for its excellent terroir. The brothers use precision in their cultivation, controlling of the yields of each vine and systematic sorting of grapes. This allows them to perform an extremely controlled process, which only enhances the flavors of the fruit.

Wines, we learned, are chilled quickly after their fermentation process in order to preserve maximum flavors. This is a very significant issue since the vineyard follows some impressively organic processes. The wines produced are all vegan, and there is not a single pesticide used throughout the vineyard.

The tasting introduced us to their whites, reds and rose options, and they offer a Chenas, Morgon, Julienas, Fleurie, Windmill, St. Amour and Cremant of Burgundy. We could not choose a favorite as they were all delicious.”
