The estate was established in 1995 by legendary winemakers Marcel Lapierre, Jean-Claude Chanudet, and Marie Lapierre, with the aim of producing wines that reflect the purest expression of the Gamay grape and the unique terroir of Beaujolais.
The vineyard spans approximately 13 hectares, nestled between the Morgon and Brouilly appellations, benefiting from the granite-rich soils typical of the region. Château Cambon practices organic farming, avoiding synthetic chemicals and focusing on maintaining the health and biodiversity of the vineyard. The estate’s approach is rooted in respect for nature and a belief in minimal intervention, both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
In winemaking, Château Cambon emphasizes natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts, minimal sulphur usage, and no filtration, allowing the wines to develop their character naturally. The resulting wines are known for their vibrant fruit, silky texture, and expressive minerality, capturing the essence of Beaujolais.
