At Domaine David-Beaupere, the grapes are in charge.
That's a bold statement we know, so let us explain. Running a busy family business with his mother in Julienas, Louis-Clement Beaupere uses organic practices in the vineyard to grow the best grapes possible. What happens next depends on which type of soil he's working with in the vineyard…
The Julienas ‘Les 3 Verres’ is made from grapes grown on sandy loam soils, which leads to fresh, fruity aromas. To preserve these, Louis-Clement makes the wine in cold conditions and uses minimal contact with skins to keep things clean and fresh. . The Julienas ‘Vayolette’ by contrast is a more serious wine.The blue-tinged volcanic rock soils, and the fact that the vines are more than 40 years old, means small grape yields, which leads to greater concentration. Intense and delicious!
