Philippe Jambon

The energy of a free and uncompromising winemaker in the hills of Beaujolais

An unconventional winemaker based in Chasselas

Philippe Jambon , based in Chasselas , cultivates his vines in Beaujolais as one would a free-range garden . He considers himself a winemaker-farmer , crafting a living, vibrant , and always authentic wine . His unique journey led him from the restaurant industry to the vineyard , driven by a deep desire to make wine differently , far removed from the constraints of conventional viticulture .

A vibrant, uncompromising viticulture

The plots are worked by hand , organically , without certification , with immense respect for the soils , plants and natural rhythms .
In the cellar, no inputs , no added sulfur , no filtration , and aging sometimes long, sometimes very long , to allow the wine to emerge at its own pace .
Philippe Jambon advocates an instinctive winemaking process , where each vintage is a story, a moment, a truth .

Radical, profoundly vibrant vintages

Among its most emblematic wines are À Bas Bruit , Un Grain , Les Vignes du Bambin and Magma Rock , all uncompromising vintages that appeal to lovers of free and vibrant wines .
His Gamay from old vines and his Chardonnay aged in barrel express with strength and purity the granitic terroirs of northern Beaujolais .

A cult figure in the natural wine movement in France

Philippe Jambon is today an essential reference for enthusiasts of wines without additives , a conduit of emotions who shakes up habits and pushes back the limits .
His wines do not conform to classic codes , they speak to the body and the imagination , with a rare freedom that makes them sought-after bottles throughout the world .
