Notes from the Importer: Anne-Laure Grillet and Thomas Agatensi joined Domaine de la Bonne Tonne - so called because of the cadastral plan - in 2019, bearing the torch from Marcel Grillet as the 7th-generation winemakers at the estate. Although 2019 only marks Thomas’ first vintage on his own, his conviction to earnestly represent the best climat of Beaujolais is palpable.
The winery has been practicing organic farming methods since 2003, though has been certified organic since 2012. Additionally, the estate has been utilizing different biodynamic preparations since 2007. The winery is composed of 6.5 hectares: four in Morgon and two in Régnié, along with a touch of Beaujolais Blanc.
