Duboeuf Beaujolais Villages, 2020

Beaujolais-Villages wines offer excellent value to both connoisseurs and those just discovering red wine. Beaujolais-Villages can be complex and elegant – and, like most Beaujolais wines, they are easy to drink, fresh-tasting and relatively light-bodied.

Throughout the northern part of France’s Beaujolais region, 38 villages have been recognized for producing wines superior to those of the larger Beaujolais region. Their wines are entitled to the Beaujolais-Villages appellation. Their sunny and well-drained hillsides are ideally suited to growing and ripening Gamay, the red grape of Beaujolais.
