List of products by brand DOMAINE ANTHONY PEROL
Domaine Anthony Pérol is rooted in the golden-stone landscape of the Beaujolais Pierres Dorées, at Châtillon-d'Azergues, where the Pérol family has cultivated the vine since 1912. Certified organic since 2005, this 10-hectare estate produces reds and whites that speak honestly of their terroir.
A family estate with deep roots in the Pierres Dorées
The Beaujolais Pierres Dorées takes its name from the warm, golden limestone that breaks the surface across its rolling hills — a geology that lends the landscape an almost Provençal warmth and gives its wines a distinctive mineral freshness. Châtillon-d'Azergues sits at the southern edge of the Beaujolais region, where the terrain softens into a patchwork of small plots, woodland and ancient villages built from the same tawny stone that colours the soils beneath the vines.
The Pérol family settled here in 1912, and the domaine has remained in their hands ever since — now spanning five generations. That continuity is not merely sentimental: it represents more than a century of accumulated knowledge of these specific parcels, their behaviour across seasons, and the particular character they impart to the finished wines. When Anthony Pérol joined the estate in 2013, he brought with him both a respect for that inheritance and a clear ambition to sharpen the domaine's identity, refining the winemaking and deepening the commitment to organic farming that his predecessors had already begun.
Organic viticulture since 2005
Domaine Anthony Pérol has held organic certification since 2005 — well ahead of the broader shift towards sustainable viticulture that has since reshaped much of the French wine landscape. Across the estate's 10 hectares, the vines are tended without synthetic herbicides, pesticides or fertilisers. The approach is one of attentive husbandry rather than intervention: working the soils to maintain their biological life, managing the canopy to achieve natural balance, and allowing each vintage to express its own character without correction. The result is a range of wines that carry the honest imprint of their growing season and their place.
An original range of grape varieties
What sets this estate apart from many of its Beaujolais neighbours is the breadth of its encépagement. Alongside Gamay — the emblematic red variety of the region — the estate cultivates Syrah, Viognier and Chardonnay. This combination, unusual for the appellation, reflects both the estate's position at the southern fringe of Beaujolais and Anthony Pérol's willingness to work with varieties that suit his terroir rather than conform to a narrower regional template. The whites, built on Viognier and Chardonnay, offer a counterpoint to the reds that is rarely found at this level in the region.
The wines of Domaine Anthony Pérol
The estate produces a focused range of reds and whites, each expressing the character of the Pierres Dorées terroir through organically farmed fruit:
- Red wines — principally from Gamay, with Syrah adding structure and depth; expect fresh red fruit, a supple texture and a mineral finish characteristic of the golden limestone soils.
- White wines — drawn from Viognier and Chardonnay; aromatic and precise, with the freshness that organic viticulture and the Beaujolais altitude tend to preserve well into the growing season.
Why we have selected Domaine Anthony Pérol
At Halles Quercamps, we are drawn to estates where family continuity, a clear sense of place and genuine farming conviction come together — and Domaine Anthony Pérol offers all three. The organic certification, maintained since 2005, is not a marketing position but a long-standing agricultural choice that predates the current fashion for sustainable viticulture. The estate's unusual encépagement — Gamay alongside Syrah, Viognier and Chardonnay — produces wines with a character that stands apart from the more uniform face of the Beaujolais appellation. And the presence of a fifth generation, bringing fresh rigour without abandoning the family's accumulated knowledge, gives us confidence in the estate's direction.
We recommend these wines to confirmed Beaujolais enthusiasts looking beyond the familiar crus, as well as to lovers of organic French wine who value authenticity over volume. At the table, the reds pair well with charcuterie, roast poultry and dishes from the Lyon tradition; the whites are well suited to freshwater fish, goat's cheese and light summer fare.
