While each of the Georges Duboeuf Cru Beaujolais makes a distinct and original statement, the Juliénas Château des Capitans is consistently among our favorites. The 2020 Château des Capitans offers the ready drinkability and likability for which the entire Beaujolais region is famous while also offering considerably greater complexity and depth expected from a Cru Beaujolais. Flavors and aromas of raspberry and blackcurrant are subtly accented by notes of cinnamon and cut peach. The firm structure and excellent balance offer the option for graceful aging.
Made in the Franche-Comté region of eastern France, this semi-soft cow’s milk cheese has a fairly pungent aroma but a surprisingly mild, creamy flavor with a pleasant nuttiness on the finish. The dark vein in the center is a tasteless vegetable ash, a nod to the way that Morbier was produced long ago.
