The Fleurie village of Beaujolais typically produces very floral wines with penetrating fruit and lively acidity. This excellent example from Duboeuf accomplishes that and adds an extra measure of raspberry and black-cherry flavor. It can be served slightly chilled, which complemented a spicy dish known as "Crying Dragon Beef." This light but intensely flavorful red wine is ideal for summertime drinking.
