Aromas of lemon peel, persimmon and yellow fruit are backed by a fresh, vibrant acidity on the finish.

Tapping into a century of expertise, Pierre Dupond produces some of the highest quality French Pinot Noir and Chardonnay available.

Founder Antoine Dupond began selling wines from his properties in Beaujolais to local bistros and cafés in 1860. At the time, hard manual work was the occupation of local towns, such as Saint-Etienne, a mining town, and Lyon, with its silk workshops and trade. These local communities provided a large clientele to cafes and famous Bouchons where most wine was purchased. Dupond had to meet high demands for thirst quenching and lively wine that workers craved.

Now more than a century later, the tradition continues under Hervé and Philippe Dupond. The Duponds know precisely the terroirs and vineyards of the region and is able to select the best plots. The wines are all created to be delicious, thirst quenching and tremendous value.

The wines are vinified in stainless steel and made with attention to detail rarely found at this price point. Sommeliers with experience at some of the best restaurants in the world participate in blending to provide an extra level of quality. The proof is in the bottle – vintage after vintage, the wines are fresh and delightful for everyday enjoyment.

The Chardonnay for this wine was grown on vines planted on rich limestone and clay soils in vineyards around selected villages including Viré and Clessé. Vinified in stainless steel, the wine undergoes a traditional fine-lees ageing which adds some complexity and richness to the fruit flavours.

Ideal as an aperitif, it will also be appreciated with grilled fish or seafood.
Best served between 10 and 13 ° C.
