Duboeuf's new releases, which are now appearing, are the 1992s. On paper, 1992 is inferior to 1991. But Duboeuf's stricter selection process, combined with lower prices have made his wines winners again! If retailers, restaurants, and wine writers want to increase consumption of wine in America, one of the best places to start is to encourage consumption of Duboeuf's wines. For the level of quality and pleasure they provide, they are not just good values, they are cheap!
Duboeuf's Fleurie-Chateau de Deduits, usually one of his blockbuster Beaujolais, is good in 1992, but not head and shoulders above the other crus as it sometimes can be.
