As the 8th generation of winemakers in the family, Jean-Baptiste is proud of what he accomplished before the age of 30. He is the first generation to own the family vineyards.
Before buying the vineyards, JB honed his skills in wineries in France, USA and Australia. At Mont Joly he combines the best of Beaujolais and Burgundy to make wines which express his unique terroir.
The winery history goes back to 1779. The vaulted cellar offers perfect conditions to age wine with natural temperature control. The domaine is right on boundary between the oldest granite of Beaujolais and marlaceous lime at 350 meter above sea level.
