  Le pape du Beaujolais (the pope of Beaujolais) passed away yesterday and as I tried to absorb the news, I saw this sitting among my samples and wondered both why I had not popped it as of yet and what better wine to drink to celebrate the passing of an icon. Sure, it is not mind-blowing, but it is not intended as such. It is meant to be a simple wine to be consumed shortly after harvest to celebrate the end of the intense period of collecting the fruit. It's also a wine that Georges championed, made famous, and "saved" the region. So as I raise a glass of this incredibly fruity, with bits of bubblegum and clove wine, I salute Monsieur Dubœuf, the likes of whom we shall never see again. thedrunkencyclist.com

  Nose of strawberry and banana. Sweet on the tongue with flavours of strawberry with banana, more banana on the finish. Good Length and tannins.

  Fresh and floral Gamay, nice ripe red berry fruit, just a hint of bubblegum, quite buttery, gentle tannic grip, decent length. Not thin or raw, not that bad actually...
