Only a talent such as Paul Durdilly can craft non-cru Beaujolais that echoes it’s northern cousins. 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 nothing basic about it but the price.
What the Durdilly family has been doing in this southern village since 1750 is on another level entirely.

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.
With autumn around the corner, this is the red to effortlessly straddle the seasons. Building on a Gold Medal at the Trophée Beaujolais Nouveaux for the previous vintage, Durdilly always holds up to the hype and never fails to make an impression at my table.
A rock-solid pour for anyone looking for a little ‘extra’ in their house red.
