WOW!! This is the real deal Beaujolais! If, like me, you’ve had your share of so-so, not exactly mediocre, but just not very jazzy Beaujolais, then you‘ve got to try this – you’d think you were drinking a higher end Cru or at the least a Beaujolais-Villages with a significantly higher price tag. Back in the early 80s, my wife & two eldest drove from Chamonix, Mount Blanc to Paris (about 275 miles) & naturally, I persuaded “la famille” to stop @ a few wine places along the way. We stopped in Romanèche-Thorins, the home of Georges Duboeuf (aka the King of Beaujolais), but how I wish we had stopped to see the three Dupeuble brothers who run a quality-conscious organic winery committed to making the finest Gamay possible. It is certainly no surprise that the family knows its craft so well; the Dupeubles have owned these vineyards since 1512.

This 2009 vintage from Beaujolais is all the rage; anyone & everyone is talking about it, and for good reason. It is clearly the best in a long time from this region.

 

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate raves about the 2009 Beaujolais Vintage, "Beaujolais: Remarkable Riches and 2009 Richness." "The 2009 Beaujolais are gloriously generous and genuinely complex, as fine as any wines from this region in recent memory."  - "the opportunity exists for what are routinely among the world's preeminent red wine values to become positively SENSATIONAL bargains in this great vintage!"

Quote
Deep, bright, purple color ushering in strikingly forward aromas of purple flowers & fresh fruit. A tasty, zesty wine glass full of fresh raspberry, strawberry, black cherry & blueberry flavors balanced with a bracing minerality. This wine is like a precocious young student – very bright, not a bit shy, and brimming with confidence.The fresh squirt of acidity makes for the quintessential food wine.

Food Pairing
Perfect red wine match particularly for steamed mussels but also for roasted chicken, seafood, salads & almost anything else. Drink on the beach with no food at all, just some good friends, or, perhaps just the beagle.
