David Large is not just a winemaker—he’s a storyteller. A poet at heart and a vigneron by heritage, he crafts wines that reflect both his creative spirit and the rich traditions of Beaujolais. His family has been growing vines in Montmelas, southwest Beaujolais, for over 200 years, but David’s journey took him far beyond his roots before returning home. In his twenties, he set off on a pilgrimage to the Rhône, working with iconic producers like Chapoutier and Guigal, where he discovered a deep connection to biodynamic farming. Armed with this knowledge, he returned to Beaujolais and, in 2012, established his own domaine. Since 2019, he has been joined by Célia, his partner in both life and winemaking, and together they’ve gone from strength to strength, expanding their vineyards to 9 hectares, including Beaujolais-Villages and select crus. David’s love for music, film, and comics is woven into his winemaking philosophy. His labels—designed by him—are filled with playful pop culture references, adding a personal touch to every bottle. In the cellar, he embraces organic farming, whole-bunch Gamay fermentations, and semi-carbonic maceration, producing wines that are vibrant, expressive, and unmistakably his own. David Large’s wines are as bold and dynamic as the artist behind them—an invitation to taste Beaujolais through a fresh and inspired lens.
