Winemaker Patrick Brunet took over the Domaine at the age of 18 when his father passed away unexpectedly. Unfortunately, Patrick’s father, Robert (whom the Domaine is named after) was unable to pass on his skills and knowledge.

With the kind help of neighboring producers, Patrick learned to work the vineyard and winemaking. He now makes some of the most spectacular Beaujolais wines.

Domaine de Robert is located 15 km/11 miles south of Mâcon (69 Rhône, ARA), just outside the wine village of Fleurie.

Côte de Py is one of Beaujolais' grandest vineyards and is renowned for producing more concentrated, complex wines that are some of the region's longest-lived. Patrick owns a small parcel here where he makes his wines.

Cellaring: Enjoy now, but can develop over 10 years

Vinification: Instead of using the whole cluster, Patrick de-stems his bunches, favouring fruit over spice, and allows for long macerations of 15-28 days, depending on the vintage.
