Georges Dubœuf
Château de Javernand Vieilles Vignes Chiroubles Gamay
Chiroubles, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France
Some times you learn unexpected things from unexpected places. I tend to prioritize producer & place over vintage, with emphasis on the former. A careless hand can botch the potential of a special site, right? Problem is, I really liked this wine but somehow didn't know this was DuBoeuf (😒) until I Delectable'd it. Touché.

Not sure this belongs to duboeuf...
The nose shows rose petal, cherry, pepper, hay and a tiny almond note in the rear that really peculiar for a gamay from there. The palate is superb, with a vibrant and juicy cherry note radiating through and through, some width, some matter, even more than what I expected, a subtle tannic layer in the rear, gently disturbing the mouthfeel, before a fruity and peppery finish that goes on for a good while. Well this is very much the kind of Beaujolais I dig.
