Jules Desjourneys

Beaujolais, France

It’s difficult to know where to begin in describing the wines of Fabien Duperray’s Jules Desjourneys estate in Beaujolais and Mâcon, and now the few bottles he is producing in Sancerre. Some producers—only a few—craft wines that, without any background, expectation, or buildup, make you physically understand immediately that you’ve entered another dimension. The Jules Desjourneys wines sit in that class.
