Wines so declared can carry formidable leves of residual sugar: 25 grams is perhaps the minimum but more often the Moelleux at the Foreau domaine has 35 or 50 or sometimes even 80 or 90 grams of sugar left in the wine

We note a lovely hint of beeswax to the nose and touch of bitterness to the finish – a remarkable wine of depth and character that testifies to the worthiness of this rarely seen appellation

Jean-Paul Dubost Regnie 'Le Potet' 2023 Size:750ml 7-hectare parcel of 30-year-old PinotDubost owns three separate parcels farmed biodynamically in the crumbly grey granite (somewhere between sand and pebbles in consistency) of Le Potet: one 30 years old, one 50, and one nearly 70. Vinified and aged entirely in tank using classic semi carbonic maceration, this wine combines snappy red fruits with just enough structure and savory minerality to remind one of Beaujolais proximity to the Northern Rhne.
