It’s Nouveau time again and the “King of Beaujolais,” Georges Duboeuf has come through with another in a series of grapy juicy, new Beaujolais. This is all Gamay all the way sporting a deep purple-ruby color, ripe strawberry aromas and flavors, full tannins, crisp acidity, 12.5% alcohol. If you’re looking for a quaffing red at a good price, Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau fills the bill.
