Lapierre VdF Raisins Gaulois

May 9th, 2026

When Kermit Lynch introduced the world to the “Gang of Four,” Marcel Lapierre helped define what Beaujolais could be: vibrant, soulful, and completely alive. That spirit still drives every bottle Camille and Mathieu Lapierre make today, nowhere is it more joyful than ‘Raisins Gaulois.’

In a way, ‘Raisins Gaulois’ is the house party version of Lapierre’s Morgon. The fruit comes mostly from the same prized vineyards, but from younger vines and higher-yielding parcels that sit outside the strict limits of the appellation. What you lose in concentration, you gain in immediacy. This is Gamay stripped of seriousness and bottled at peak drinkability.

The 2024 is exactly what you want it to be: pale crimson, wildly aromatic, and buzzing with life. Cranberry, raspberry, crushed stone, and that unmistakable Lapierre lift all come flying out of the glass. It spends just two months aging in tanks before bottling, which barely enough time to become wine at all and that’s precisely the point. Raisins Gaulois is meant to feel fresh, raw, and completely alive.

For all the reverence attached to the Lapierre name, this wine is pure fun. Unfiltered, featherweight, screw-capped, and endlessly crushable, it belongs everywhere good times happen: park hangs, beach days, takeout dinners, backyard grilling, long afternoons in the garden. Give it a light chill and watch the bottle disappear.

We’re also pouring "Raisins Gaulois' by the glass in the restaurant, so join us for dinner and see how beautifully it shines alongside food. If you love it as much as we do, we’ve got plenty in the retail shop for you to take some home.
