Paul Durdilly et Fils
Domaine Paul Durdilly is a small father and son team with some of the highest vineyards in Beaujolais. The vineyards here are a geological mix of granite, schist, river debris and clay that vary remarkably from site to site in the hills around Le Bois d’Oingt. The average altitudes here are only slightly lower than many cru plots to the north. Some of the deeper chalk soils give Gamay here a pinot noir-like silky fruit; while the grapes that come from more granite laded yield wines with more grip, spice and fresh acidity. Sustainable.
