The Legacy of Georges Duboeuf
Born into a family of vineyard owners in Mâcon, Burgundy, Georges Duboeuf revolutionized Beaujolais winemaking. After taking over the family business, he began bottling estate wines instead of selling to négociants. He championed small growers, introducing a mobile bottling truck to help them bring single-estate wines to market—a major shift from regional blends.
Duboeuf personally delivered wines by bicycle, eventually earning a place on Lyon’s top restaurant lists, including those of legendary chef Paul Bocuse. In 1982, he introduced Beaujolais Nouveau to the U.S., igniting what would become the world’s largest wine celebration.
Georges’ son Franck now runs the business, keeping Georges' legacy front and center, with wines that express the terroir with bold character and deep flavor. Franck's son, Aurélien, has a winemaking role and his nephew, Adrien, is on the business side.

About Beaujolais
Beaujolais is a vibrant wine region in eastern France, nestled just south of Burgundy and north of Lyon. Renowned for its rolling hills, granite-rich soils, and picturesque villages, it is the birthplace of some of the world’s most joyful and approachable wines. The region is synonymous with Gamay, a red grape variety that thrives in Beaujolais' diverse terroirs, producing wines that range from light and fruity to complex and age-worthy.
Beaujolais is divided into three main areas: Beaujolais AOC, known for easy-drinking, bright wines; Beaujolais-Villages, offering a step up in quality and structure; and the prestigious Cru Beaujolais, made up of ten distinct crus like Morgon, Fleurie, and Moulin-à-Vent, each with its unique character and style.
