Duboeuf barrel-aged about 15% of this single-vineyard wine, adding a textural note and an additional measure of seasoning. The color is a medium-deep ruby and the aromatics are full Gamay with ripe strawberry notes. This richly textured wine has power, body and good length. Hold for at least five more years when it should be at its optimum for drinking pleasure.
