Jean-Luc was born and raised in Vaux-en-Beaujoulais, a village in southern Beaujolais. The tradition of being a vintner has been handed down through six generations on Jean-Luc’s mother’s side. Starting his journey within the family business in 1988, he took over from his aunt, pivoting the business to sell wines directly to consumers, the first of the generations to do so. The core of his production is Beaujolais-Village but he also makes a small amount of Chardonnay and Rosé. The vines are located in the communes of Le Perréon and Vaux-en-Beaujolais “Clochemerle”, near Mont Brouilly. Producing around 30,000 bottles per year, vineyards are grown on hillsides with a south, south-east exposure. As with Jean-Luc’s viticultural philosophy, the approach in the winery is quite holistic and hands-off. All grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before vinification. The Chardonnay, Nos Deux Elles, is a nod “full of love” to the two daughters, Lisa and Laura, of Jean Luc Longère. “They who grew up in the middle of the rows of vines know the price of work.” It is whole-bunch pressed, fermented at a low temperature then kept on fine lees until spring. - Terroir Selections, Importer.
