Expert Reviews

92 Points | International Wine Cellar , Feb-12

Bright purple.  Pungent aromas of redcurrant, black raspberry, dried rose and minerals, with a smoky overtone.  Juicy, incisive red fruit flavors show a refreshingly bitter edge and gain sweetness with air.  Fine-grained and admirably balanced, finishing with noteworthy clarity and lingering spiciness.  Lacks the density and sex appeal of the 2009 but I really like this wine's energy and cut.

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.
