Georges Dubœuf
Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau Gamay
The wine is medium-dark and smells earthy, full of minerals, almost like dirt with a rusty nail stuck in it. Good earth, though. The palate shows plums and dark berries with a hefty dose of those fabulous minerals. Acidity is fresh but not overpowering, while the tannins are firm enough to handle a pork chop, if you like. The finish stays awhile and is somewhat flinty.
