✨ wine.spec_sheet
Château des Déduits is located in Fleurie, often called the 'Queen of Beaujolais' for its elegant and aromatic wines. Crafted from 100% Gamay under the stewardship of the legendary Georges Duboeuf, this wine benefits from the unique pink granite soils of the Fleurie appellation. The name 'Déduits' evokes old French notions of pleasure, leisure, and courtly romance, fitting for a wine known for its seductive floral aromas of violet and iris, alongside bright red fruit notes. Vinified using traditional semi-carbonic maceration to preserve its vibrant fruitiness and silky texture, it represents the pinnacle of Cru Beaujolais elegance.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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.
