Dupré-Goujon Côte de Brouilly “Equinox” 2024

Much of our Beaujolais portfolio has gotten more serious in recent years, and Guillaume Goujon and Seb Dupré are making gamays as impressive as many pinots from the north. But for Equinoxe de Printemps, their goal is a simpler wine that’s readier to drink early — less extraction, less elevage, just delightful gamay fruit.

Grown on granite and sandy soils, this is an exuberant wine with lovely low tannins and perfectly judged acidity. The nose shows raspberries and violets, while the mouth is crunchy and flat out delicious. Serve a bit cool on a sunny backyard patio.
