Northern Rhône Expertise Meets Beaujolais Terroir

A new generation of Beaujolais producers is redefining the region, and Domaine des FA stands at the forefront of this movement. Created by the Graillot family, the domaine brings together deep winemaking expertise from the Northern Rhône with the expressive terroirs of Beaujolais.

The result is a collection of wines that combine precision, purity, and vibrant energy, offering a modern and refined interpretation of Cru Gamay.

The Graillot Family Legacy

Domaine des FA was founded by Maxime and Antoine Graillot, sons of the legendary Rhône producer Alain Graillot. Building on their family’s renowned experience in the Northern Rhône, the brothers set out to explore the unique terroirs of Beaujolais.

Their vision was simple: to craft wines that express the elegance and diversity of Gamay grown in some of the region’s finest vineyard sites.

By combining Rhône winemaking know-how with Beaujolais terroir, Domaine des FA has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting modern estates in the region.

Exceptional Terroirs in Saint-Amour & Fleurie

The brothers acquired vineyards in two of Beaujolais’ most distinctive Crus:

Saint-Amour – known for wines that are expressive, aromatic, and beautifully balanced.

Fleurie – often considered the most elegant Cru of Beaujolais, producing wines with floral perfume and silky texture.

These vineyards are planted on granite and schist soils, terroirs that give Gamay remarkable depth, freshness, and structure.

Through careful vineyard work, the domaine allows each site to express its own character while maintaining a clear stylistic signature of finesse and purity.

Organic Farming and Biodynamic Principles

Domaine des FA is farmed organically with biodynamic principles, reflecting a strong commitment to sustainable viticulture and respect for the land.

This approach encourages healthier soils, balanced vines, and greater expression of terroir.

In the cellar, the philosophy remains the same: minimal intervention to allow the wines to develop naturally, preserving the energy and character of the fruit.

The resulting wines are known for their clarity, vibrancy, and precision.

The wines of Domaine des FA showcase the modern potential of Beaujolais.

Elegant and refined, they combine:
