    Georges Duboeuf Morgon Domaine des Versauds Beaujolais - A Beauty of a Beaujolais

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: January 13, 2013 Last Updated: October 1, 2021

    2009-Georges-Duboeuf-Morgon-Domaine-des-Versauds-Beaujolais
    Now this is my kind of Beaujolais!

    100% Gamay from Morgon, Beaujolais, France.

    SRP of $18 and available for as low as $15.

    From the bottle:

    "Full, rich, palate-pleasing flavors of cherries and kirsch personify this domaine Cru.

    13.0% Alcohol"

    I have to admit that I'm not a fan of the whole Beaujolais Nouveau phenomenon, although I will concede that it is brilliant marketing. Today's wine, on the other hand, comes from the largest of the Beaujolais Cru and is a different matter entirely. But before we get to that, for more info on Beaujolais and the Cru sytem check out these two previous posts:

    • Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais-Villages 2011 - A Strawberry-Banana Jam-a-rama!
    • Georges Duboeuf Brouilly 2011 - Simple, Jammy and Good

    The 2009 Georges Duboeuf Morgon Domaine des Versauds Beaujolais begins with abundant and pleasing aromas of red berry fruit (strawberry, cherry), black raspberry and a bit of black pepper and mint. Tasting the wine reveals lots of juicy fruit on top of some good underlying earthiness. This is a very smooth wine with a dense structure and soft tannins. It ends dry with the fruit turning a bit sour and a bit of minerality coming through as well. Excellent!
