WINES
A dream-duo in one of our favourite French regions, Beaujolais natives and school friends Sebastien Dupré and Guillaume Goujon started their domaine in 2015. Seb's uncle had some priceless plots on the S.E. facing slope of Côte de Brouilly, exceptional terroir in the Héronde and Pavé lieu-dits, but sold his grapes to the co-op. Without any interested children, the boys took full advantage of this rare opportunity. An agroforestry approach has earned their organic certification to include the 2021 vintage and they are undergoing biodynamic certification.
The talent is really showing in these wines which are incredible expressions of fruit purity, slick winemaking and extending ageing giving superb density and elegance. Not your typical tutti frutti Beaujolais.

Gravity vatting, indigenous yeasts, SO2-free fermentation, semi-carbonic maceration in whole harvest 8 to 10 days. Unfined and unfiltered bottling with low quantity of sulfites.
The Équinoxe de Printemps has aromatically lifted nose of fresh red raspberries, red cherries, violet, freshly blooming red and pink roses. The palate is surprisingly dark and savoury with a good structure for cutting through the fat of late-night street-corner hot dogs…
