Description: Domaine Paul Durdilly is a small father and son team with some of the highest vineyards in the generic Beaujolais appellation. This is one of few Beaujolais producers that use native yeast, hand harvest, and 100% estate vineyards; available in the United States. If you follow a topographical map of the Cru villages southward to the tiny hamlet of Le Bois d’Oignt you will understand why this is the logical extension of the chain of hills that give us the world’s finest Gamay. The soil is conducive to making the best Beaujolais' (geological mix of granite, schist, river debris, and clay) around Le Bois d’Oingt. Paul’s finest parcels have a higher proportion of granite and limestone than the average Beaujolais village or Nouveau wine.
Food Pairings: Charcuterie, cold cuts, white meats (roasted, baked, grilled), Coq Au Vin, burgers, light fare, spicy dishes, stew, tuna, TURKEY (traditional holiday cuisine), salmon, quinoa stir-fry, veggies, etc.
