Domaine Dupeuble
Beaujolais Nouveau Gamay
Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
Normally I'm not a big nouveau fan, they can be a little simple, odd, and "unfinished" tasting, but this one was frickin' delicious. Clean, grapey but vinous too, gulpable but not too light. It had that light red wine poise that allowed it to work from seafood to meat. What a treat.

Herbal and green stem character play nicely with the abundantly fruity & milk chocolatey palate. Good depth for Nouveau. And I'm over it til next year.

Tasted this '16 back to back with the '17. It's pretty night and day how the banana falls off with a year of age in the bottle. If you can still find a bottle of the '16 I would recommend.

Nov 23rd, 2017Surprisingly enjoyable for a nouveau. Youthful red berries, gravel, and roses. Something you drink with your fun younger sister who makes you feel like a kid again.

Unbelievably delicious. Leave it to KM to make you go crazy for a Nouveau. Crazy strawberry and banana on the nose. Touch of cranberry. Beautifully floral and fresh. Nice acid and a "hint" or tannins making it perfect for food and not just sipping. I "aged" it for about 4 months since I forgot I bought it. That's old for Nouveau right? Ha
