When does a non-cru Beaujolais wine taste and age like a fine Burgundy? When it’s crafted by a talented winemaker such as Paul Durdilly from Le Bois d’Oignt in southern Beaujolais. Durdilly’s ‘Les Grandes Coasses’ is hands-down one of the finest “basic” Beaujolais wines you can find for the money; but honestly, there’s little that’s basic about it. Le Bois d’Oignt’s terroir secret is that many of its vineyards have soils that are pure limestone, the same “mother rock” of the Côte d’Or. This is why Gamay grown on Durdilly’s older-vine, high-altitude vineyard slopes is always refined and supple, with a complexity of flavor that will make you think Vosne, or even Chambolle—and then make you rethink everything you thought you knew about Beaujolais.

Paul Durdilly cares for his some 20 different small parcels of vines in and around Le Bois d’Oignt according to 'lutte raisonée' principles, avoiding treatments whenever possible. Nearly half the region’s soils are limestone, similar to the Côte d’Or, rather than the typical Beaujolais granite. Durdilly’s vines are mostly older, from 40 to 80 years.
Grapes are harvested by hand and fermented on indigenous yeasts in cement tanks. Wines are aged in a combination of tank and older, large foudre, and then bottled unrefined and unfiltered.
It's important to remember that taste is subjective, and personal preferences play a significant role.
