Raphaël Saint-Cyr

Raphaël Saint-Cyr is at the head of Domaine Saint-Cyr, located in Anse in Beaujolais. The history of the family estate dates back to 1949, when Pierre Saint-Cyr, Raphaël's great-grandfather, settled on this small farm. How far they’ve come over the generations! The estate has now 23 hectares of vines in the Beaujolais, Chénas, Morgon and Moulin-à-Vent appellations. Respectful cultural practices were implemented in the 1980s, and it was in 2008 when Raphaël settled at Saint-Cyr that the entire estate was converted to organic, with biodynamic practices. Moreover, there is a global reflection of the vineyard management: tillage with draft horses, pruning respecting the sap flow, more polyculture... The same logic continues in the cellar with vinification without additives. Always vibrant red, white and orange wines, which perfectly reflect the renewal and energy of Beaujolais.
