Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais-Villages Nouveau 2011, 12.5% alcohol about $15.

There were no marketing materials and the back label was silent so let’s quote the Duboeuf web site (only the non Villages offering was described). “For the nose, a veritable palette of bright floral aromas is interlaced among blackberries, wild strawberries and blueberries, with hints of black and red currants. Taste the Beaujolais Nouveau 2011 and revel in its full, smooth body with a fine, silky harmonious texture and exceptional richness.” And now for my review.

At the first sips these fermented grapes presented the taste of dark bubble gum. It was long. The initial meal featured slow cooked beef. This liquid’s acidity was raw. When paired with the accompanying potatoes our French friend’s bubble gum taste intensified. The other side dish was leeks sautéed in olive oil. In response the drink’s acidity was muted but I still noted some harshness. I doused the meat with Louisiana hot sauce and still got raw acidity.
