Beaujolais-Villages Pur Granite Jean-Michel Dupré
Description
Red
It is the first French appellation to have used the term ‘villages’. The vineyard is undergoing transformation, with a third of the vines having been replanted and a third of the old vines trained in the goblet style. The hillsides and the age of the vines account for the size of the grapes, which are miniature with thick skins, containing a highly concentrated juice. Gamay is extraordinary in its region of origin…
