Review - Georges Duboeuf Nouveau

Name: Georges Duboeuf Nouveau
Variety: 100% Gamay
Region: Beaujolais
Country: France
Year: 2015
Price: $12.00

Wine Shop Review: George Duboeuf is THE king of Beaujolais.  His wines are full of pop, charm and great flavor and his Beaujolais Nouveau is no exception.  A cornucopia of expressive fruit wrapped in an almost-bubblegum-like frame; it is the flagship Nouveau.

Personal Review: The Nouveau by Georges Duboeuf brought a red-fruit bouquet to the nose full of cherries, plums, and grapefruit. Though the wine was not overly acidic, tannic, or sweet, it was still quite balanced. I found the Nouveau to express its red-fruit flavors from start to finish with no significant deviation in the mid-palate or finish. Side note: what a totally awesome label.

Note: I did not consume this wine with food.
