Domaine Dupré-Goujon - Côte de Brouilly L'Héronde 2021
96/100
James Suckling
"A complex bouquet of aromas, rated 96 points by James Suckling!"
“A truly astonishing wine for this challenging vintage, with a deep nose of violets, mandarin, and spices. The medium-bodied, highly concentrated palate is astonishingly intense. An explosive, stony minerality animates the extremely long finish, which is skillfully supported by very fine tannins. This wine is just beginning to reach the peak of its youth, but it has great aging potential. ” (James Suckling 2024) A word of advice: wait before opening it!

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).
