Straddling the crossroads of Beaujolais and the Mâconnais, Chateau de Lavernette, a 400+ year-old family-owned property, is run by Xavier de Boisseau and his oenologist wife, Kerry (née O'Brien.) Converted to biodynamics in 2006, they keenly produce everything from Beaujolais to Pouilly-Fuisse, but the hidden gem is a zero dosage Cremant made from 100% granite-grown Gamay.
