It is what it is. I found it enjoyable, if a touch strident. Would like to try this year's Nouveau from other producers to compare. I know I had past disappointment with the Dubœuf.

Bottle lists 11-14% alcohol. How does one do that and why even bother. Tastes like 13% with a good amount of chaptalization and maybe acid added? Upon opening it has a big nose of hard cherries but that leaves quickly. This is a mass market manipulated wine that, while much better than Dubeof, does not call to drink.

Nouveau. Not as light and fruity as I had hoped, just a little more serious (as much as nouveau can be).

Medium acidity
Low tannins
Light fruit
Somewhat like a Pinot Noir
