Coming from the same generation as Jules Métras and Yann Bertrand, Pierre Cotton hopes to give Beaujolais a boost, too often deserted by young talents. This young winegrower began by devoting himself to motorcycle mechanics before deciding to become an oenologist at the age of 20. He currently operates around 5 hectares of vineyards, located in one of the most prestigious and fastest growing Beaujolais regions. He and his family vinify in an old cellar dating from the 18th century. The vineyard covers 1 hectare. On average, its vines are almost 65 years old.
