DOMAINE DUPEUBLE PERE ET FILS Beaujolais 2015

(Beaujolais, France) $15

The words “fresh” and “red wine” don’t often appear in the same sentence—except in the case of a great Beaujolais, the perfect (fresh red) wine for spring. This steal from the Dupeuble family is a true Beaujolais (no nouveau voodoo). The gamay vines are 50-100 years old; wine has been made on the estate since 1512. And talk about delicious. It tastes like you just fell into a swimming pool of ripe berries and is spicy, peppery and floral all at the same time. It also has that crushed granite character—the “secret sauce” behind every top Beaujolais. (13.5% abv)
