Agamy

Agamy's story

The Agamy winery was founded in 2016, following the merger of the Bully, Quincié, Vignerons Foréziens and Coteaux du Lyonnais wineries. Today, there are more than 500 winemakers and employees working across the entire terroir.

Each grower has his own history, but all are experienced professionals. The land of some of the wineries has a history of over two centuries.

The Agamy vineyard

The vineyards of the Agamy winery cover more than 1,300 hectares, mainly located in the territory of expression of Gamay. The vines cover the Coteaux du Beaujolais, as well as the Monts du Beaujolais, on the volcanic soils of the Côtes du Forez.
