David Large is a hereditary winemaker whose family history goes back to 1840. He has diplomas from elite schools and experience working with great people, but, nevertheless, he believes that becoming a great winemaker is a process of "learning". The vineyards of David Large are located around Montmelas, a beautiful mountainous area in the southwest of Beaujolais. Soil types are predominantly granite, clay and calcareous, pigmented with iron oxide. The vines also benefit from volcanic rock, especially suited to Gamay.
David Large does everything himself, right down to driving a delivery truck and composing the poems inscribed on the side of his wine labels, because David is a passionate rapper and a fan of poetry. Even the names of individual wines are "personal" for him, having a unique history. Large's obsession with terroir means he vinifies and bottles nearly every site separately, resulting in as many as 18 different cuvetés from just 5 hectares of limited-edition vineyards.
