Domaine Saint Cyr
Anse
The Saint Cyr family farms across multiple Beaujolais appellations, producing wines that range from the supremely food-friendly La Galoche rosé and rouge to more serious appellation-specific wines from Morgon and Chénas. Their home base in the Beaujolais hills gives them access to granitic soils that are the foundation of the region's most expressive wines, and the family's commitment to manual harvesting and whole-cluster fermentation aligns with the traditions of the best Beaujolais producers. The La Galoche range—offered in both still rosé and rouge versions—is among the most versatile and reliable house wines available at any price, reflecting the joyful, thirst-quenching side of Gamay. Morgon Les Charmes steps up to show the volcanic, deeply fruited character of one of Beaujolais' ten named crus, while the Chénas Les Journets—from the smallest of the crus—offers power and depth that surprises those expecting simple Beaujolais. The availability of a 1.5-liter magnum of La Galoche confirms the family's understanding of wine as a social pleasure.
