If there is a wine importer on this planet who knows a thing or two about stellar, traditional Beaujolais, it is Kermit Lynch. More than an importer, Kermit is a thinker, a writer, and curator of wine. The 2010 Domaine Dupeuble gets to the heart of what Kermit does; finding pure wines that offer tremendous enjoyment while staying to true the region by not using any winemaking trick to add flavors that aren't inherent to the grape. This is vinous pleasure defined. Pure raspberry and strawberry fruit with a lively streak down the middle that makes you want to drink this by the gallon. This is a festive wine; no thought required. Just put a ever-so-slight chill on it, break out some baguette, pâte and cornichons, and love life the way the French do! - PJ
