George Descombes

Georges Descombes is sometimes called the unofficial fifth member of Beaujolais' legendary Gang of Four, the group of growers who reshaped the region around natural winemaking. As a teenager he worked the vines with his vigneron father and moved between local cellars; the first time he tasted Marcel Lapierre's wine he was so struck by its purity that he resolved to make wine the same way.

Georges took over the family estate in 1988 and immediately began moving it forward, adopting organic viticulture and stripping additives and manipulation out of the cellar. He is based in the hamlet of Vermont, within Villie-Morgon in the heart of cru Beaujolais.

More on how they farm and work in the cellar in our George Descombes producer profile.
