Tapping into a century of expertise, Pierre Dupond produces some of the highest quality French Pinot Noir and Chardonnay available at roughly $10 retail.

Founder Antoine Dupond began selling wines from his properties in Beaujolais to local bistros and cafés in 1860. At the time, hard manual work was the occupation of local towns, such as Saint-Etienne, a mining town, and Lyon, with its silk workshops and trade. These local communities provided a large clientele to cafes and famous Bouchons where most wine was purchased. Dupond had to meet high demands for thirst quenching and lively wine that workers craved.

Now more than a century later, the tradition continues under Hervé and Philippe Dupond. The Duponds know precisely the terroirs and vineyards of the region and is able to select the best plots. The wines are all created to be delicious, thirst quenching and an tremendous value.

The selection of vineyards is done following long term partnerships in the region. Chardonnay comes primarily from Languedoc-Roussillon; Pinot Noir from Auvergne and Drôme.

The wines are vinified in stainless steel and made with attention to detail rarely found at this price point. Sommeliers with experience at some of the best restaurants in the world participate in blending to provide an extra level of quality. The proof is in the bottle – vintage after vintage, the wines are fresh and delightful for everyday enjoyment.
