GEORGES DUBOEUF ‘WILDFLOWER’ WINES

11/28/2018

Comments

Georges Duboeuf is expanding with four varietal wines from the Pays d’Oc region of Southern France. The Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for the wines come from vineyards that have been sustainably managed and ethically farmed since the mid-1990s. The fields in the foothills below these vineyards are awash in vibrant wildflowers that have inspired the wines’ labels, linking them to Duboeuf’s well-known Beaujolais and Maconnais wines that also feature flower labels.

BLANC DE BLEU DE ROSÉ BRUT

11/13/2018

Comments

In a bit of a plot twist, Blanc de Bleu—the naturally fermented bubbly that enhanced with a gemlike turquoise hue—is going pink as well as blue. New from winemaker Bob Stashak, the sparkler’s pleasant yeasty character is coupled with the fruitiness of its Chardonnay (91%) and Pinot Noir grapes. Balanced acidity and refreshing, lively bubbles help Blanc de Bleu de Rosé Brut pair well with a wide variety of foods, including fish, pork loin, chicken, vegetarian dishes and salads. Marketed by Bronco Wine Co.
