This is a textbook Beaujolais Villages from Georges Duboeuf and the 2023 vintage. Beaujolais is quite a beautiful region north of Lyon in France. In some respects, it is even more visually appealing than Burgundy further north. I have a long older post here exploring the region, somehow more than a decade ago. This wine, a gamay as is always the case for red Beaujolais, has aromas of tart red raspberries. The palate is red fruited, light to medium bodied and has a chalky texture. Serve this wine chilled. It is suitable for current drinking. Review Rating: Good (★★★, 85 points). Website: Vins George Duboeuf. Tasted: October 2026.
