from vines planted in the tour bourdon plot in 1940, this concentrated wine is ripe and rich while still shot through with red-currant acidity. its tannins come from the low-yielding vines, giving a firm edge. the aftertaste is all about fresher red fruits. jean-michel dupré is a member of terroirs originels—17 producers on the hills of beaujolais and burgundy's mâcon.
