✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic Juliénas Cru in Beaujolais, Château des Poupets is a classic representation of the region's robust and structured side. The Juliénas appellation itself carries a legendary heritage, named in honor of Julius Caesar, with vine cultivation dating back to Roman times. Crafted from 100% Gamay grapes, this wine benefits from the estate's south-facing slopes, where the vines dig deep into soils rich in granite, clay, and schist. Under the curation of the legendary Georges Duboeuf, the winemaking employs traditional semi-carbonic maceration to preserve vibrant fruit expression while extracting the deep color and spicy complexity characteristic of Juliénas. The result is a fleshy, deeply aromatic red boasting notes of ripe red berries, violets, and a touch of wild spice.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Les Vins Georges Duboeuf har hjemsted i Romanèche-Thorins i det franske Beaujolais og blev grundlagt i 1964 af Georges Duboeuf, der ofte hyldes som 'Kongen af Beaujolais'. Négociant-huset revolutionerede regionens internationale profil ved at slå et slag for domæneaftapninger, opbygge tætte partnerskaber med lokale vinbønder og gøre det årlige Beaujolais Nouveau-fænomen verdensberømt. Huset ledes i dag af Duboeuf-familien og er fortsat dybt engageret i at formidle Gamay-druens mange terroirfacetter på tværs af de ti Beaujolais Crus – herunder Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon og Juliénas – sideløbende med et nøje udvalgt sortiment fra Rhône-dalen og Pays d'Oc.
