Beautiful purple color with violet hues in the glass with red fruit aromas. Fresh, fruity, and light. Drink over the following 2-3 years.
Dubost owns three separate parcels farmed biodynamically in the crumbly grey granite (somewhere between sand and pebbles in consistency) of Le Potet: one 30 years old, one 50, and one nearly 70. Vinified and aged entirely in tank using classic semi-carbonic maceration, this wine combines snappy red fruits with just enough structure and savory minerality to remind one of Beaujolais’ proximity to the Northern Rhône.
From his 26 hectares in Lantignié, Brouilly, Moulin-a-Vent, and Morgon, fourth-generation vigneron Jean-Paul Dubost produces wines that combine lusciousness of fruit, mineral rigor, and open-armed friendliness in a way only great Beaujolais can. Jean-Paul assumed control of his family’s holdings in the mid-1990s, gradually steering viticulture toward organic practices, and today all parcels are either farmed fully organically or are in organic conversion. Dubost’s cellar regimen pulls simultaneously from regional tradition and thoughtful low-interventionism: spontaneous fermentations; classic semi-carbonic macerations, with no-destemming employed except for the naturally ultra-structured Moulin-a-Vent; and bottling with extremely low levels of added sulfur dioxide.
