"The 2013 Beaujolais Villages Cuvee Vieilles Vignes, coming from 45-year-old vines, is exemplary. It has a captivating nose that somehow brings to mind the Scottish moorlands, as if skipping over wild heather! It is very well-defined. The palate has supple tannins on the entry and very well-judged acidity. It feels refined with good delineation and body on the finish, hints of orange rind lingering on the aftertaste. This is really quite superb." WA

Altogether he has 12 hectares of vines in Saint-Etienne-la-Varenne Brouilly most of which are old (60–80 years) and which are farmed organically. Lapalu is working biodynamically but is not yet certified.
