I'm always excited to find additional Beaujolais producers besides the ubiquitous and bland Georges DeBoeuf offerings that monopolizes most retailers' shelves, so I grabbed a bottle of this one when it showed up at Spec's. Alas, it was pretty bland too.
Eye: Medium dark ruby color.
Nose: Lots of very straightforward plummy-grapey fruit and a bit of pungent stony scents in the background.
Mouth: Lots of simple, overly clean tasting plummy fruit. Very much in the DeBoeuf style of commercial Beaujolais.
Score: 83.
Cellar or drink? Drink over the next few months.
Price/store: Was $14.20 at Spec's on Smith.
