This is great value and wonderful wine that displays the very essence of Pinot Noir - bright red fruit, a soft supple texture with crunchy acidity and just a hint of spice. On the nose, the wine shows aromas of black and red berries, like cherry and raspberry, mixed with cola and liquorice. Hints of rose petal and dried leaves round out the package.

Domaine Dupré was founded in the early 1950s, with only 3 hectare of vines, along with cereals and livestock. Safe to say that making high quality wine wasn't the sole intention of the Dupré family! By 1990 however, when current steward of the domaine Jean-Christophe joined his father, they farmed 12 hectares of vineyards. Fast forward to today, and that has grown to 26 hectares, after purchasing multiple neighbouring properties. Despite being located in the less famous Maconnais region of Burgundy, in the south, these wines punch well above their weight. The vines average 45 years of age and are planted on ideal clay-limestone soils, the same as found in many more “prestigious” Burgundian sites. The combination of the relatively cool microclimate and the ideal soil and exposition allows the Duprés to harvest late, enhancing the wine’s complexity and richness.
