Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau 2009


Region: Beaujolais, France
Grapes: 100% Gamay
ABV: 12.5%
Price: $10

With the color of grape juice you would buy at the supermarket, this wine is a simple harvest wine that exudes a fresh, fruity aroma with a hint of herb. Flavor-wise, it is an uncomplicated cherry tart with that hint of herbiness showing through in the background. Maybe tart is too sweet a term, but there is a light, distinct sweetness to this wine. Give it a slight chill and have it with a light fare meal, especially poultry.
