Country: France / Cuvée Elevé en Fût de Chêne
Variety: Gamay Beaujolais
Winery: Georges Duboeuf / Moulin-à-Vent
There is no question about the wood here. It dominates the aroma and the palate, burying the fruit in a smooth, vanilla character. It is a pleasure to drink, but seems to have removed itself from Beaujolais.
