A Classic Taste of Beaujolais

Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Expect a bright ruby red color with hints of purple.

Understanding Beaujolais-Villages

- Grape: 100% Gamay, the signature red grape of Beaujolais, responsible for its bright fruitiness and easy-drinking character.
The Duboeuf Philosophy
- Emphasis on Freshness: Duboeuf focuses on preserving the youthful vibrancy of Gamay fruit flavors.
- Wide Appeal: This wine is approachable and enjoyable, making it an excellent introduction to Beaujolais-Villages.
