At Domaine de Prapin, a family-run vineyard for 6 generations, Coteaux du Lyonnais wines flourish naturally. The Gamay grape, grown entirely organically and biodynamically on 10 hectares, expresses itself fully, giving full expression to its excellence, with powerful notes of black pepper, in a cuvée aged in oak barrels. Atypically, the Terre de Silène cuvée is vinified, macerated and aged in terracotta amphora. A terroir, wines to discover and a passion to share during wine-tourism activities (oenoludic workshops, tasting tours, mâchon...) upon reservation.

The best jams are made by Philippe Bruneton. Member of the Collège Culinaire de France, elected Meilleur Confiturier de France.

The jams are available in a range of collections, including Fruits et Chocolat, made with Weiss chocolate. Culinary aids, fruit pastes, coulis, syrups... More than jams, real desserts.
