Domaine Jean Pierre Large

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Winemaker Jean-Pierre Large is the Beaujolais Cru-master behind the exceptional (and perennially popular) Domaine Cheysson Chiroubles, which we have imported for more than 15 years. The Morgon comes from Jean-Pierre Large’s grandfather. These old vines contribute even greater richness and complexity to this wine. Les Délys is the same fabulous wine we’ve been importing for many years – it just has a new look to feature the name of Jean-Pierre Large’s property that pays homage to the birthplace his family. His grandfather called this place “Les Délys,” said to be “the cradle of his family,” where they have been living for 200+ years. It is in the commune of Villié Morgon, where Jean-Pierre’s father was born.
