The 2006 Georges Duboeuf was a bright cherry red in the glass. Light,
fresh and uncomplex on the nose, it had some nice, subtle aromas of
peaches, raspberry, mint and maybe some nuts. On the palate it was
light, fruity and fresh, lively but dry, with no tannins - if
blindfolded I think I would have called it a chardonnay! Well balanced,
this wine had no length and was meant for quaffing today. Very nice,
and ready to drink, a party pleaser to be served slightly chilled. It
paired nicely with 'Amaretto chicken'. |
