Creating refined and modern wines in the heart of the Beaujolais region: contemporary wines. Our innovative spirit and that of our predecessors who put their stamp on the history of Château de l’Éclair shines through.

Today, we work 20 hectares (49 acres) of vineyards planted with Gamay, Chardonnay, Muscat and Gamaret. Our vineyards are on a number of communes: from the gateway from Porte des Pierres Dorées to Rivolet, via Saint-Étienne-la-Varenne, to Chénas to the north. Having this diversity of terroirs means that we are able to bring you a wide range of quality wines.

Depuis 2018 Château de l’éclair is committed to a progressive approach through corporate social responsibility. Our aim is to show the highest level of ethics towards all the people we are in contact with (customers, associates and co-workers, suppliers and neighbours etc.). Through this, we safeguard nature, people and the company and share our values and know-how.

Care for the vines is at the forefront of our tending choices, we use eco-friendly/integrated techniques and belong to the Terra Vitis® network. We respect the balance between vine, soil and climate. Our strategy is proactive, using natural and preventative measures as early as possible. In 2019, we validated the HEV (high environmental value) certification and since 2020 we have started a conversion to organic farming.

Château de l’Éclair boasts an experimental wine nursery. This unique tool is used in collaboration with our team of engineers and technicians from SICAREX Beaujolais and the French Institute of vines and wine (IFV). Here we strive to further improve the quality of wine and how it is crafted in the Beaujolais region.
