The 2007 Morgon Domaine Jean Descombes sports a striking nose of black raspberry jam, cassis, and sweetly fragrant roses. Irresistibly luscious and bright, it saturates the palate with black fruits while also delivering persistent, wafting floral notes, tallow-like animal undertones and hints of salt and wet stone. Enjoy this unusually successful and seamlessly-ripe 2007 (and amazing value) anytime over the next four years. Consistent in style and amazingly low in price (but then, this is – sadly –a region in crisis), the myriad Beaujolais bottlings of George Duboeuf represent perennial best values in the American marketplace. That includes wines from a range of domaines with which Duboeuf father and son have long-standing relationships, and which generally cost very little more than do the “Selections Georges Duboeuf” that bear his signature flower labels.Importer: William Deutsch & Son Ltd., White Plains, NY; tel.
