Georges Duboeuf 2008 Séléction (Saint-Amour)

Country: France / Beaujolais
Variety: Gamay
Winery: Georges Duboeuf / Séléction

This is a serious, tannic wine that has a mineral edge to go with the tight fruit. It is, in fact, ageworthy—for a year or two, with the dry character needs to soften. At the end, the sweet Gamay fruits triumph.
