Variety: Gamay

In the States, we talk about “The Deep South” and we are referencing the southern culture down by the gulf. The personalities coming from this part of the Country is unlike anything else. The hospitality is over the top yet sometimes slightly back country. This is very much the same for the regions where Dupeuble is from; this is the deep south of Beaujolais. Recently many of the Cru’s (towns) have become quite famous, but this part of the region is true farm country and has been for a long time. The Dupeuble Domaine dates back to 1512 and has produced wines with very little change in their methods.

The Dupeuble Beaujolais comes from vines ranging from 50-100 years old from clay, granite, and limestone soils. The juice ferments naturally via carbonic maceration and then ages in stainless steel. This bottle is an incredible value for what it represents; natural winemaking, old vines, and a traditional legendary winemaker to boot.
