About Jean-Paul Dubost
Jean-Paul Dubost produces wines that combine lusciousness of fruit, mineral rigor, and open-armed friendliness in a way only great Beaujolais can.

Ballofière is a high-altitude parcel for Morgon, situated at 350-370 meters with a west-to-south exposure and consisting of poor, schistous soil with a small amount of sand. Following a semi-carbonic maceration, Dubost incorporates 15% used demi-muids into the élevage here, with the balance done in tank. The pulpy, gently tannic palate offers darkly spiced fruit and a firm sense of minerality.
