2024 Jean Paul Dubost Beaujolais-Villages Lantignie Rouge
The effortlessly delicious Jean Paul Dubost Beaujolais-Villages Lantignié Rouge is a wine that delivers cru quality at a remarkable value.
Domaine Dubost Morgon, established in 1902, is now helmed by fourth-generation vigneron Jean-Paul Dubost who is dedicated to organic farming and non-interventionist winemaking. Produced using classic semi-carbonic maceration of whole clusters, this Gamay is bottled with minimal intervention, no added sulphur and just a light filtration.
Lantignié is a sub-zone we’ve watched closely - it’s widely considered the "eleventh cru" in waiting because the granite soils here punch way above their weight. This 2024 is a cracker. It’s made with whole clusters and zero added sulphur, giving it that wild, authentic energy we love from the Dubost cellar. It’s bright, brambly, and carries a serious mineral grit that makes it feel far more expensive than the label suggests.
The fruit is crunchy and lifted, woven together with a refreshing acidity that keeps you coming back for another glass. It’s got that moreish, savoury edge and a hint of spice that makes Gamay so addictive. This is pure, unadulterated Beaujolais that’s built for drinking right now.
