Domaine Dubost

From some of the greatest restaurants in the world to the shelves of its finest wine merchants, the Gamays from Jean-Paul Dubost (pronounced `Dubo' locally) are extremely highly regarded. Fourth generation vigneron Jean-Paul took over running the estate in 1993 after the sudden accidental death of his father; he has continued his work with great aplomb.

The speciality here is their Brouilly, which comes from 75 year old vines, but their Beaujolais-Villages is also exceptional; at least as good as most people's village crus. These are surprisingly rich wines with not inconsiderable tannins that reflect both Dubost's devotion to Gamay and also to quality.
