Apparently a staple in the Duboeuf stable (although I had never before tasted it, and the last rendition to have been reviewed in these pages was the 2003), the 2009 Beaujolais-Villages Chateau des Vierres is scented with ripe black raspberry and smoky black tea; offers generous, ripe fruit juiciness with hints of wet stone and berry seed offering counterpoint; and finishes with infectious juiciness. The vast and on the whole stylistically consistent range of Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais bottlings – a majority issuing from individual domaines – represents a reliable source of value, and this has seldom been more true (nor has the range – most, but not all of which, I tasted – been more vast) than from 2009, which it is clear Duboeuf considers as fine a vintage as he has witnessed – although he notes, “It was very difficult this year to choose the date of bottling,” and many wines were still in tank awaiting that decision when I tasted in April. I continue to find as a general rule that Duboeuf’s wines are best drunk within two years of bottling, so in my notes I have made reference to aging potential only for any wines that I expect might be exceptions to that rule of thumb. (Wines identified solely by their appellation are so-called “Selections Georges Duboeuf” cuvees, labeled with his company’s signature flower labels. There are Regnie and Chenas selection bottlings that I did not taste, the latter being the sole bottling of its appellation this vintage, due to the ravages of hail.)Importer: William Deutsch & Son Ltd., White Plains, NY; tel.

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!The 1992 Beaujolais-Villages-Chateau des Vierres is a crisp, deeply colored, ripe, fruity wine, with a velvety texture as well as some heady alcohol in its lusty finish.Importers: William Deutsch and Sons, Chappaqua, NY and Wine Sellers, Skokie, IL.
