Tasting #28 Georges Duboeuf Nouveau

Tasting #28 Georges Duboeuf Nouveau
 Name: Georges Duboeuf Nouveau
Varietal(s): Gamay
Region: Beaujolais, France
Year: 2015
Price: $12

Winery review: George Duboeuf is THE king of Beaujolais.  His wines are full of pop, charm and great flavor and his Beaujolais Nouveau is no exception.  A cornucopia of expressive fruit wrapped in an almost-bubblegum-like frame; it is the flagship Nouveau.

Personal review:  The nose on this was very fruit forward, with hints of blueberry and blackberry. On the palate this was medium, almost full, bodied and had a balanced tannin to it. The finish was bold with dark fruits like blackberries and raspberries, but not long. This wine was not paired with food, but I would pair it with a fatty cheese.
