2013 Domaine Dupeuble Beaujolais Nouveau

This is how Nouveau is supposed to be, but very rarely is! This new wine naturally settled in the cuve as the chilly fall air circulated through open windows for months, then it was bottled unfined, unfiltered and unsulfured, and shipped by plane in mid-November. The wine was made with natural yeasts only and was not chaptalized. You are getting wine in its most natural state possible. (You don't want to know what most people do to stabilize their Nouveaux.) This domaine doesn't worry about preservation because their wine is drunk up so quickly. Besides, the Dupeubles know what they are doing; their family has been making wine here since 1512! In 2010, the Wine Advocate even managed to review the 2009 vintage from this producer, enthusing: "If the oceans of frothy purple Beaujolais that once used to lap our shores each November had come consistently if only remotely close to this level, they would have enhanced, not tarnished the reputation of a region."
