Tasting- Georges Duboeuf Beajolais Nouveau



Name: Georges Duboeuf Beajolais Nouveau
Variety: Gamay
Country: France
Region: Beajolais
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95

Wine Expert Review: An aromatic red, with floral and white peach n
otes accenting the black raspberry and plum flavors. This is open-knit and fresh, offering light tannins on the finish.
My Review: This is by far the fruitiest red wine that I have ever had. As soon as I did the sniff and swirl, I got strong fruit aromas. Blackberry, strawberry, and plum definitely came through. This wine did come from younger grapes so that may be part of the reason. The tannin levels in this wine were very low, which was very refreshing to me as I think they can sometimes be overwhelming. I also got all of the fruit flavors that I smelled in the wine. This has been my favorite red to date.

I did not taste this wine with food.
