Expert Reviews

92 Points | International Wine Cellar , February 2011

Deep ruby.  Smoky dark fruits and Indian spices on the nose, complicated by notes of beef jerky, violet and musky herbs.  Dense but light on its feet, showing a refreshingly bitter quality to its mineral-laced blackberry and cherry flavors.  Gains sweetness with air and finishes with excellent clarity and spicy persistence.  If you must drink this now give it at least an hour of air.

Beaujolais
About Beaujolais

Made from the Gamay grape, the red wines of Beaujolais are mostly exuberantly fruity and brisk wines that are often served lightly chilled for added refreshment. There is also a small amount of white Beaujolais, made from Chardonnay, but little of this is exported to the U.S. Today, the overwhelming majority of Beaujolais production is controlled by negociants, of whom Georges Duboeuf is the undisputed king.
