Jean Max, explorer of the Beaujolais terroirs

Maxime Barrot, also known as Jean Max , a local boy who has been living there for a few years, is a rising figure in the south of Beaujolais, a land where the stones are golden.

After various enriching experiences, notably in Chile with Roberto Henriquez, in the Mâconnais at the Domaine de la Souffrandière, or with one of the living legends of Beaujolais, Yvon Metras , he settled in 2019 with the firm conviction of making the unjustly overlooked terroirs of the south of the appellation shine.

Now firmly established in the village of Lachassagne where he cultivates 3 hectares of vines with determination, he also showcases, through single-vineyard cuvées, specific terroirs that deserve attention and respect for the nobility of the juices produced here.
