Crafting stunning Beaujolais crus since 1902
This beautiful estate, established in 1902, is managed by fourth generation vigneron Jean-Paul Dubost who took over from his father in 1992. Jean-Paul is farming the 22 hectare estate organically and non-interventionalist philosophy is carried through to the winemaking. JP uses no chemicals and minimal sulphur. His view is that this allows him to produce wines that express the quality of gamay and the specific terroirs of his vineyards. He is extremely fortunate to have some ancient vines and this is reflected in the quality of all of his wines, not least the Beaujolais-Villages.
The estate now extends over 37 hectares around Lantignie (Moulin a Vent, Fleurie, Brouilly, Morgon and Regnie). Gamay is of course the king grape variety. Jean-Paul, still not giving in to fashions, is a fan of ripe grapes cut at advanced ripeness.
The grapes are then macerated over long period (sometimes over 1 month!) to extract all the phenolic matter and limit the use of sulfur as much as possible.
Wines of great structure, concentration and vibrancy.
