Domaine Dupeuble
ドメーヌ・デュプーブル
Historic Beaujolais estate crafting pure, sulfur-free Gamay since 1512.
Domaine Dupeuble is a historic family estate in the hamlet of Le Breuil, in the southernmost part of Beaujolais near Lyon. Family-run in an unbroken line since 1512 (the Dupeuble name dates to 1919, when heiress Anna Asmaquer married Jules Dupeuble), the estate is today managed by siblings Ghislaine and Stéphane Dupeuble. Its 42 hectares of vines, aged 50 to 100 years, grow on granite, clay, and limestone soils around the Château des Pertonnières. The Dupeubles are pioneering advocates of lutte raisonnée, farming without synthetic chemicals or herbicides, and hand-harvest all their Gamay. Fermentation is entirely natural, via classic Beaujolais carbonic maceration with indigenous yeasts and no added sulfur dioxide at any stage; the wines are neither chaptalized, fined, nor filtered. Kermit Lynch, who imports the domaine into the US, considers it his most reliably delicious source of pure, spirit-lifting Beaujolais.
