Domaine Dupré-Goujon - Beaujolais Villages Le Clos des Muriers blanc 2022
94/100
James Suckling
“This wine could well be the best dry white wine produced to date in the Beaujolais region... (James Suckling)”
"[...]. This wine may well be the finest dry white wine produced to date in the Beaujolais region. The captivating nose of chamomile and fresh garden herbs gently leads into a creamy, medium-bodied palate of wonderful delicacy. The interplay of silky acidity and subtle limestone minerality gives the long finish a charisma rarely found in white wines from this region. Made from two plots planted on clay-limestone soil near the village of Blace.” (James Suckling 2024)

About the estate:
Over the course of just a few vintages, the duo of Sébastien Dupré and Guillaume Goujon has established a confident and ambitious style. Longtime friends, they honed their skills under Frédéric Pourtalié at the Domaine de Montcalmès for eight years, taking over from his cousin Vincent Guizard. After gaining some experience, they released their first vintage in 2015, featuring the iconic 6.3.1 cuvée, a blend from their vineyards (60% L’Héronde, 30% Le Pavé, 10% Brûlhier).
