Les Vins Georges Duboeuf
For over four centuries, the Duboeuf family has been weaving the story of wine into the heart of French culture. At the helm of this legacy was Georges Duboeuf, a dynamic visionary whose passion for Beaujolais and Mâconnais wines transformed the world’s perception of these regions. In September 1964, Georges founded Les Vins Georges Duboeuf, a pivotal moment that marked the beginning of his journey as a wine merchant, selecting, bottling, and sharing the finest expressions of Burgundy’s terroir.
Georges’ charisma and commitment to excellence made him more than a winemaker. He became an ambassador for the region, known for blending tradition with bold innovation. Negotiating with heart and an unyielding passion, he introduced the world to the unique flavors of Beaujolais, championing quality with every bottle.
Though Georges passed away in January 2020 at the age of 86, his legacy thrives. Today, his son Franck carries the torch, guiding the family business with the same dedication and flair. Franck’s son Aurélien has joined the winemaking team, while his nephew Adrien oversees business operations. Together, they continue to honor Georges’ vision: to share the soul of Beaujolais with the world, one unforgettable glass at a time.
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.
Le Beaujolais Nouveau est Arrivé!
Since 1982, Georges Duboeuf's Beaujolais Nouveau has captivated wine lovers worldwide. This vin de primeur offers a unique tasting experience that combines tradition with innovation.
Released shortly after harvest on the third Thursday of November, it’s a vibrant, easy-drinking wine that captures the spirit of the season. This annual event celebrates the year’s harvest and pays homage to Georges Duboeuf’s passion, which elevated both the Beaujolais region and the Gamay grape to near-cult status.
Vibrant Art Meets Wine: The Bold Labels of Beaujolais Nouveau
The labels for Beaujolais Nouveau are as vibrant and lively as the wines themselves. Each year, artists are invited to create unique artwork that reflects the youthful energy of the wine.
What Makes Nouveau Different?
Beaujolais Nouveau is made using a method called carbonic maceration, where whole grapes are fermented in a sealed tank to encourage fermentation inside the grapes. This process preserves the bright, fruity flavors and results in a wine that’s fresh, light, and ready to drink just weeks after harvest!
