Expert Reviews

91 Points | International Wine Cellar , March 2012

Dark purple.  Intense, spice-accented aromas of red and dark berries, licorice and floral oils.  Juicy and seamless on the palate, offering vibrant black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that gain sweetness with air.  Shows impressive energy on the finish, which lingers with alluring sweetness.  I suspect that this Beaujolais cru will reward cellaring.

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.
