• The Domaine de la Chambarde is situated in the beautiful Beaujolais region about 40 kilometres north of the French city of Lyon and is a small family owned vineyard of some 13 hectares.

• This Beaujolais vineyard has been in the same family for three generations. After finishing his studies in oenology, Robert and his wife Dali took over the family business in 1981.

• In an age of standardization of tastes, there are still some wine growers who prefer to follow a more traditional approach. The Domaine de la Chambarde remains faithful to these ancestral traditions, and the quality and range of their lovely wines results from careful cultivation of their grapes in limited production quantities.
