Domaine Jean-Paul Dubost 2023 Beaujolais-Lantignie AOC

Terroir Notes: This is the primary production wine of Dubost from several parcels totaling ten hectares surrounding their home village of Lantignié, just south of Chiroubles and west of Régnié, with a terroir of Muscovite granite and blue clay.

Winemaking Notes: The gamay undergoes a classic semi-carbonic maceration of whole clusters over 15 days in steel tanks, with twice daily pump-overs, and is bottled in the spring with a light filtration and no added sulphur.

Tasting Notes: The Beaujolais-Lantignié actually drinks more like a cru-which it may well become one day—and is frankly a terrific value. The aromas are lifted, tweaked by the barest hint of appetizing volatility, and the fruit and acidity are gorgeously interwoven.
