Notes on the Wine
This yearly tradition features a first look at the grapes from this year's harvest in Beaujolais. Vibrant red fruits such as strawberries and currants and an intense perfume make this wine a perfect accompaniment for cheese, charcuterie, and traditional holiday fare.
Notes on the Producer
For more than four centuries, the Duboeuf family has been producing wine. Georges, who passed away in January, 2020 at age 86, was well-known for his dynamism, created Les Vins Georges Duboeuf in September of 1964. This historical date also marked the start of his wine merchant business -- selecting, bottling and selling fine French wines from the Beaujolais and Mâconnais regions of Burgundy In the process, Georges and his wines became world famous.
In essence, Georges was the ambassador of the region...loyal to his quest of offering quality wines, combining the flavor profiles of their terroir with bold characters. He conducted his business by negotiating with heart, passion and the constant desire to share the very best of Beaujolais. In continuing the family tradition, Georges’ son Franck runs the family business, with his son Aurelian recently taking a role on the winemaking side, and Franck’s wife Anne managing the unique “wine-centric” museum, botanical gardens and family-friendly amusement park, Le Hameau Duboeuf.
