After 10 years at the head of Maison Jean Loron, Philippe Bardet officially hands over the reins to Thierry Bellicaud, for whom the Beaujolais and Mâconnais regions hold a special place in his heart.
Thierry Bellicaud is returning to his roots in the vineyards where he was born and follows in the footsteps of his predecessors. Attached to the heritage of our Maison, he is opening a new chapter for an entire region.
The strength of Thierry Bellicaud's / his commitment will enable our House's three hundred years of winegrowing experience to shine through via Domaines Auvigue in the Mâconnais and Domaines Loron in Beaujolais. It is a value held dear by all our employees.
Thierry's career includes 14 years at the helm of Domaine Laroche in Chablis, and Maison Champy in Beaune since 2017.

The Maison has been firmly rooted for over 300 years in the heart of Beaujolais & Mâconnais with Domaines Loron and Domaines Auvigue.
It begins in the village of Chardonnay, then Fuissé, to discover the restored Romanesque church where their Pouilly-Fuissé 1er Crus are vinified. It continues through the vineyards of the Crus de Saint-Amour, Juliénas, Chénas, Moulin àVent, Fleurie, Morgon with our Château Bellevue, Brouilly and Régnié before finding its bed in the Beaujolais-Villages of Lantignié and Perréon.
This is the promise of discovering one of the 213 UNESCO World Geoparks in Beaujolais, and the Roche de Solutré in Mâconnais, classified as a remarkable site.
Today, more than ever, they embody the New Grands Vins de Terroirs from Chardonnay and Gamay Noir.
