Georges Duboeuf, Julienas (Beaujolais, France) 2009

May 19, 2010

By Gerald D. Boyd

It is surprising that this full-bodied Julienas is a little closed in the noise.  Still, it is showing ripe berry and mineral notes with a hint of boiled tea; more like Pinot Noir than Gamay.  Good texture and fruit, it lacks the finesse of the Capitans Julienas.
