2022 Beaujolais
Domaine Dupeuble
Approachable and unpretentious, this wine was my springboard to our Beaujolais portfolio when I first started working for Kermit in 2016. Back then, the painless price point made it a no-brainer weeknight wine for me and my roommates. On my way home from work, I’d pop into the Berkeley shop to grab a bottle (and usually a baguette from Acme) to slurp alongside whatever was on the menu that night: takeout Chinese, homemade pizzas loaded with toppings, Brie and salami…Washed down with a cool glass of Dupeuble’s fresh and juicy Gamay, even the simplest of suppers was guaranteed to hit the spot.
Even after experiencing renowned crus from the region’s most-storied domaines, I continue to come back to this wine vintage after vintage. For the purity of fruit and bliss-inducing drinkability of each bottle, the Dupeubles’ wines are in a league of their own. Extraordinary value awaits those bargain-hunting pleasure seekers.

About The Region
Beaujolais
After years of the region’s reputation being co-opted by mass-produced Beaujolais Nouveau and the prevalence of industrial farming, the fortunes of vignerons from the Beaujolais have been on the rise in the past couple of decades. Much of this change is due to Jules Chauvet, a prominent Beaujolais producer who Kermit worked with in the 1980s and arguably the father of the natural wine movement, who advocated not using herbicides or pesticides in vineyards, not chaptalizing, fermenting with ambient yeasts, and vinifying without SO2. Chief among Chauvet’s followers was Marcel Lapierre and his three friends, Jean Foillard, Guy Breton, and Jean-Paul Thévenet—a group of Morgon producers who Kermit dubbed “the Gang of Four.” The espousal of Chauvet’s methods led to a dramatic change in quality of wines from Beaujolais and with that an increased interest and appreciation for the AOC crus, Villages, and regular Beaujolais bottlings.
The crus of Beaujolais are interpreted through the Gamay grape and each illuminate the variety of great terroirs available in the region. Distinguishing itself from the clay and limestone of Burgundy, Beaujolais soils are predominantly decomposed granite, with pockets of blue volcanic rock. The primary vinification method is carbonic maceration, where grapes are not crushed, but instead whole clusters are placed in a tank, thus allowing fermentation to take place inside each grape berry.
Much like the easy-going and friendly nature of many Beaujolais vignerons, the wines too have a lively and easy-drinking spirit. They are versatile at table but make particularly good matches with the local pork sausages and charcuterie. Though often considered a wine that must be drunk young, many of the top crus offer great aging potential.
