The environment
On 1956, some wine growers of the Arbresle region wishing to share their tools of production create the Coteaux du Lyonnais cooperative winery.
The named-place “Les Ragots" situated on the Sain Bel commune about the middle outstrips between Sain Bel and Arbresle is chosen to become the site of wine making and packaging.
The production is based on wines of the Beaujolais and Lyonnais
This cooperative winery which take root in “the Lyon country " renowned for its gastronomy is quite naturally going to produce wines to be associated with this tradition. Coteaux du Lyonnais wines, main production of the winery are recognized as a young and dynamic Controlled Origin Label.
These evolutions correspond to a new image: Today, 120 members cultivate approximately 265 hectares of Beaujolais and Coteaux du Lyonnais. Under a new company name, the “Vignerons de Sain Bel" launch their brand" Sain Bel in Lyonnais “in order to strengthen their geographical identity.
