2000 Beaujolais Nouveau

[mrdutton]

It is here in Norfolk. Had some today for lunch with my turkey wrap ...........

But my first taste was not Georges Duboeuf. It was 2000 Maison de Lamartine Beaujolais Nouveau.

12.5 % Alcohol, light bodied, berry fruit on the nose and on the palate, just enough acid to handle not only the sandwich but also the mustard style potato salad served on the side. A very short, but pleasing finish with, believe it or not, a hint of banana and, of course, very very light on the tannin.

Not the best qpr but since I liked it, not bad either at $10.00.

Shortly afterward, I received a call that my case of Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau had arrived. I'll be picking it up tomorrow. Plus I'll probably buy another bottle of the Maison de Lamartine becuause it will be interesting to compare the two.

We will be having the Georges Duboeuf Nouveau with the Turkey dinner, because that is the wine being served on the menu at the place where we'll be dining.
