Georges DuBoeuf Beaujolais Nouveau 2010
Georges DuBoeuf Beaujolais Nouveau 2010
Keep it corked
- Sour
- Grapefruit, sour
- No developed tannins
The third Thursday of November is the first day that the years Beaujolais Nouveau are available for sale, worldwide. I have a soft-spot for Beaujolais, a very unpretentious wine, but it’s difficult to find anything but Georges DuBoeuf in my area. I’ve never had a decent bottle from Georges DuBoeuf, but every couple of years or so, I try it again, since each vintage is potentially different, but the 2010 was just a sour mess.
There’s good Beaujolais out there somewhere, but Georges DeBoeuf sells vin de merde, and there’s not much else to say about it, except that it was $7.99.
I liked it. It was grapefuity, but then again, I guess I don’t really like wine.
I recently had a cru from Daniel Bouland. It was out of sight. The 2009 vintage is dyn-o-myte.
Thanks, LurkerKing. If I come across a Daniel Bouland, I’ll try it.
