If you're a fan of the Beaujolais greats (Foillard, Breton, Metras, and the like), Jean-Claude Lapalu should be next on your to-do list. A favorite among wine bars in Paris and a contemporary leader of the French natural wine movement, Lapalu's wines are a masterclass in exuberance and finesse. This old-vine Cote de Brouilly is expressive and joyful, with red fruits, greenery and gravelly minerality bursting with every sip.
