✨ wine.spec_sheet
Chateau de la Perriere, nestled in the prestigious Brouilly appellation of Beaujolais, is an estate steeped in history with roots stretching back to the 14th century. The name 'Perriere' itself pays homage to the stony, granite-rich soils of the vineyard, which impart a distinct mineral complexity to the wine. Under the curation of the legendary Georges Duboeuf, this estate showcases the true potential of the Gamay grape. Cultivated on sunny slopes, the vines benefit from a unique microclimate that coaxes out deep, expressive fruit flavors. The winemaking traditionally employs semi-carbonic maceration, a method that coaxes out vibrant red berry aromas, soft tannins, and a silky texture, while preserving the elegant, structured backbone characteristic of this historic Cru.

Founded in 1964 by the visionary Georges Duboeuf in Romanèche-Thorins, Les Vins Georges Duboeuf is credited with popularizing Beaujolais wines, particularly Beaujolais Nouveau, on a global scale. The family-owned merchant house works closely with local growers to showcase the diverse terroirs of the region, from the vibrant, fruit-forward Gamay of the Beaujolais AOC to the structured, age-worthy Cru expressions of Morgon and Moulin-à-Vent. Their portfolio includes celebrated estate partnerships such as Jean Descombes and Clos des Quatre Vents, alongside varietal wines from the Pays d'Oc and Rhône. Today, the estate continues to champion the expressive, approachable, and elegant red wines of eastern France under the guidance of the Duboeuf family.
