"Les Deux Complices," or, "The Two Accomplices", comes from 20 year-old vines grown on the limestone hills of Burgundy.  The AOC for this region is Coteaux Bourguignons, literally translating to "Burgundian Hills."  As the name suggests, the vines in this region content with steep, rugged growing conditions, with plenty of sun exposure and a relatively long ripening period.

Aged in a combination of cement tanks and seasoned oak barrels, this vintage shows the best of both its varietals.  Spice, fruit, tannin, and breadth, all evenly balanced on the palate. 

About Domaine Jean-Baptiste Duperray

Founded in 1840, this tiny estate is located just outside the Beaujolais Cru of Fleurie. Jean-Baptiste, now in his late 20s, took over the property from his father in 2014. As is the case with many young French vignerons, he chooses to farm his 40 hectares of vineyards in the most sustainable way possible: no herbicides or pesticides are used; there is natural grass cover between vine rows; and pruning and harvesting is done by hand. Located near the Sâone River, the vineyards have plenty of alluvial deposits, comprised mostly of sand, silt and clay. Grapes are fermented via wild yeasts and no sulfur is used during the winemaking process.
