2020 - Georges Duboeuf - Beaujolais VIllages Nouveau - Beaujolais Villages

Georges Duboeuf is the name most closely associated with Beaujolais, and this Beaujolais Villages Nouveau is the house doing what it does best: releasing bright, carbonic-macerated Gamay shortly after harvest, drawn from the Villages tier of appellations rather than the basic regional floor.

Expect vivid ruby colour, aromas of fresh red fruit, cherry, raspberry, a hint of banana, and a soft, low-tannin palate built for immediate drinking. Serve lightly chilled alongside charcuterie, simple roast chicken, or as an easy crowd-pleaser at a casual sundowner.
