  Retail $20. 100% Gamay. I am not a marketing guru. I am not a cellar master, winegrower, or "super-taster." I am, however, a lover of wine and try my darndest to appreciate all aspects of the magic that goes into a bottle of wine. This wine? Most of the marketing gurus would stress that it is indeed *better* than the more *pedestrian* Beaujolais Nouveau. Sure, it's "better" but it represents more than that. Once the Nouveau craze took hold (due, in most part, to Georges Dubœuf), I imagine there was a desire to produce a wine that was categorically "better" than the standard Nouveau. This is the Dubœuf iteration of said wine. And it is marvelous. Sure, this is not a wine to cellar. At. All. But it *is* one to savor: dark in the glass with mostly black fruit (blackberry, plum) on the nose, with plenty of fruit and at more than a modicum of intrigue on the palate. Yeah. I could live here. thedrunkencyclist.com

  Ripe at 13.5%, puckery tannins and acid but floral and estery with intense fruit and a clean linger. A realitivly serious wine, in this day of overpriced roses here is another value and good wine for food and friends.
