Needed a reminder of 2004 after a disappointing 2003 Beaujolais. This wine is a “Cru” wine and we met the owner last year who gave us a bottle of 2001 which was lovely. I found out that Duboeuf bottle her wine and if you ask a nice retailer they can get these wines from Negociants Australia. The first bottle was nice but not bursting with cherries and blueberries, so I opened another. Yep, cork problem again. Very subtle. The second bottle was right on, lovely Beaujolais. The 2003 wine that I had before this was another “Cru”, from Fleurie, Quatre Vents. In the six months since we last tried it the fruit has begun to change to raisin style over ripe. Thus I suggest 2004 is better value if you look carefully.
