Raphaël Beysang — Natural Wine from Beaujolais to the Vosges

Two regions, one vision: pure, honest wine.

Raphaël Beysang is a natural winemaker with two deeply personal projects—one in southern Beaujolais with partner Emelie Hurtubise, and another high in the Vosges mountains under his solo label, Domaine Éloyes. Both share the same philosophy: organic farming, zero additives, and wines that reflect the place they come from.

Beaujolais: The Sud Bojo Movement

In 2017, Raphaël and Emelie settled in Saint-Germain-en-Nuelles, in the southern Beaujolais hills. They farm eight hectares of Gamay organically, using herbal teas and biodynamic practices to care for the vines.

In the cellar, it's all about minimal intervention: native yeasts, no fining or filtration, and no added sulfites. Reds undergo whole-bunch maceration for three weeks, then age in large wooden foudres. The result? Lively, fruit-driven, sun-kissed wines that are bottled in litres and made for sharing.

As key members of Team Sud Bojo, a collective of like-minded vignerons, they’re helping reshape the identity of this historic region—one bottle at a time.

Vosges: Domaine Éloyes

In 2019, Raphaël launched Domaine Éloyes, a bold project in Éloyes, Lorraine—an area more known for forests than vineyards. Alongside his partner Émilie Lebois, he farms 1.5 hectares at 400–500m altitude, where cool temperatures and granite soils bring freshness and energy to the wines.

Grapes include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer, and Auxerrois, with vines up to 50 years old. The vineyard is certified organic, farmed biodynamically, and harvested by hand.

Wines are made with native yeasts, no fining, no filtration, and zero added sulfites. Reds are often carbonic; whites sometimes get skin contact. Aging takes place in steel, neutral oak, or amphorae.

Small Production, Big Character

Raphaël’s cuvées—like P’tit Rouge, P’tit Blanc, his Gewürztraminer Orange, and Auxerrois Pet Nat—are vibrant, low in alcohol (10–12%), and full of personality. Each bottle is made in tiny quantities and highly sought after in natural wine circles across Europe.
