✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1964 by Georges Duboeuf, often celebrated as the 'King of Beaujolais', Les Vins Georges Duboeuf is headquartered in Romanèche-Thorins in the Beaujolais region of France. The négociant house revolutionized the region's global profile by championing estate-bottled wines, forging deep partnerships with artisanal growers, and popularizing the annual Beaujolais Nouveau phenomenon worldwide. Managed today by the Duboeuf family, the house remains committed to expressing the nuanced terroirs of Gamay across the ten Beaujolais Crus—such as Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon, and Juliénas—alongside curated bottlings from the Rhône Valley and Pays d'Oc.
