Introduction

Had a chance to taste through some very affordable Duboeuf cru wines. Interesting flavors from the Gamay grape. All of the 2006 wines were almost completely void of tannin, but the acid from carbonic maceration could make most of them great food wines. The 2005 bottles showed some tannin present and were pretty impressive, especially for <$15. Overall, a good chance to taste these wines and see what kinds of wine this area can produce.

  • 2006 Georges Dubœuf Pouilly-Fuissé 87 Points

    France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Pouilly-Fuissé

    Great muskmelon rind, pear, and a little lemon on the nose, which is a touch light, but is a great fragrance. Tastes of white fruits (pear & green apple) with a bright lemon component. Smooth and fairly full in the mouth but good acid on the ending. Excellent wine! Easily 87+

  • 2006 Georges Dubœuf Régnié Domaines des Buyats 81 Points

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Régnié

    Bright cherry, little bit of strawberry & definite red Halls cough drop smell, but not so much to be unpleasant. Somewhat watery and light on flavors up front, it gains sorta fake tasting red fruit flavors on a slightly heavier midpalate. Acid becomes a little astringent and a very slight hint of alcohol is detectable. Decent length finish, no tannins...mostly that faint alcohol hint and the lingering acid accompanied by just a hint of flavor.

  • 2006 Georges Dubœuf Chiroubles 82 Points

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Chiroubles

    Candied cherries, touch of some scent that reminds me of a torn, fuzzy, green leaf. Sort of a light nose. Decent body, good acid and ok balance, despite the lack of tannin. Kind of a green tasting finish--not so much vegetal, but leafy or twiggy.

  • 2006 Georges Dubœuf Morgon 83 Points

    Grapey, strawberry jam nose with a bit of mint leaf on the nose. Bit of raspberry & cranberry with a hint of light candied cherries. Kind of a short finish.
