✨ Technical Specifications
Château de Nervers, nestled in the heart of the Brouilly appellation, is a historic estate dating back to 1830 when it served as a grand hunting lodge. For generations, the same family has tended its vineyards, with the legendary 'King of Beaujolais,' Georges Duboeuf, bringing their exceptional fruit to the world stage. Crafted entirely from the Gamay grape, this wine reflects the unique terroir of Brouilly, where vines dig deep into pink granite and blue volcanic soils at the foot of Mont Brouilly. Utilizing traditional semi-carbonic maceration, the winemakers preserve the vibrant, primary fruit character of the grape. The result is a classic Cru Beaujolais that marries historical elegance with a joyful, expressive personality, showcasing notes of ripe red berries, peony, and a subtle, stony minerality.
🍾 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.
