Duboeuf 2011 年份的 Brouilly Chateau du Prieure 散發(fā)著蒔蘿籽、白胡椒的氣味，突出了濃郁多汁且略酸的黑莓和黑醋栗的味道，這充分說明了 Beaujolais 該年份的葡萄酒較成功。該酒活力十足，味道持久，彌補了其層次不夠豐富的缺陷。

The 2009 Brouilly Chateau du Prieure illustrates the concentration that Georges Duboeuf claims for it, with saline, maritime aromatic and palate accents to ripe blackberry and peach, compote-like in its lightly cooked character and sweetness. As in so many instances in this collection, slightly tart and bitter elements offer a nice foil to the wine’s fundamental (but not superficial) sweetness. 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.
