Paul Durdilly Description

Domaine Paul Durdilly is a small father and son team with some of the highest vineyards in the generic Beaujolais appellation. This is one of the few 100% estate-bottled, hand harvested, indigenous yeast basic Beaujolais available in the United States. If you follow a topographical map of the Cru villages southward to the tiny hamlet of Le Bois d’Oignt you understand why this is the logical extension of the chain of hills that give us the world’s finest Gamay.

The average altitudes here are only slightly lower than many cru plots to the north. These hillside, old vines sites are very different than the rest of Beaujolais and give Paul’s Gamay here a bit of added depth and complexity.

Mostly old-vine fruit (many are pushing 70 years old; the average is 40) is aged in a combination of tank and very old, large foudre. This is a floral festival in glass with blue and dark flowers dominating. The palate is silky with raspberry/cherry notes supporting a fresh bright finish.
