GEORGES DUBOEUF is ecstatic about this year’s Beaujolais harvest, predicting it one of the best Beaujolais vintages in the last 50 years. “The grape bunches are small with a fine purplish black color, and are exceptionally rich in sugar. The berries are thick, and the seeds are a gorgeous amber color, a sign of perfect phenolic maturity. Their brightness, intensity, and above all, their perfect health are something to behold. We have not seen anything like this for a long time.”
