More about Vionnet
Karim's story is pretty cool. Born in Lyon to Arabic parents, he was adopted by a family in one of the Beaujolais Cru villages, Morgon.  His first career was a baker, but eventually fell into wine, as one does in this region, and got the natural wine bug by working as a vineyard-hand and winemaker for some of the OG natty wine dudes like Guy Breton and Marcel Lapierre. Technically a negociant (like many of our producers who don't own any vineyards), Karim is responsible for the organic farming and vinification of 5 hectares of plots around Beaujolais, mostly old-ish vines (40- to 60-year-old). He makes a bunch of different Gamay cuvees, all with carbonic maceration, that are insanely good (and sought after).   And now his daughter, Noémie, works with him.
