Domaine Jean-Yves Sonnery is a family-run estate in the Beaujolais region. Jean-Yves Sonnery and his wife, Laurence, founded the winery in 1999, and since then, they have remained committed to traditional viticulture and the authentic expression of the local terroir.
History and Philosophy
From the outset, the estate focused on producing wines that showcase the distinctive character of the Brouilly appellation. To achieve this, the Sonnery family carefully manages each vineyard and approaches winemaking with patience and precision. As a result, the domaine has earned a reputation for crafting wines that are both approachable and deeply rooted in the granitic soils of the region.
Viticulture and Craft
Although specific techniques may vary from one vintage to the next, the domaine’s approach consistently reflects the high standards of Beaujolais winemaking.
Terroir-focused:
The estate primarily grows Gamay Noir, carefully tending the vines throughout the growing season. In this way, the team helps the grapes reach optimal maturity while preserving their natural freshness and character.
Traditional winemaking:
At the winery, the team generally follows traditional methods and often favours whole-bunch fermentation. This technique helps retain the fresh, vibrant fruit profile that defines Brouilly wines, while also adding greater aromatic complexity and structure.
Consistency and experience:
After more than two decades of winemaking, Jean-Yves and Laurence Sonnery continue to combine modern efficiency with the heritage of Beaujolais. Consequently, each bottle reflects both the character of its vintage and the estate’s long-standing commitment to quality, authenticity and terroir-driven wines.
