Hailing from the prestigious Fleurie appellation in Beaujolais, the Clos des Quatre Vents (Enclosure of the Four Winds) is a historic estate whose wines are masterfully curated and distributed by the legendary Georges Duboeuf. This exceptional site is blessed with a unique microclimate where winds from four directions sweep across the vines, keeping the Gamay grapes healthy and concentrated. Planted in the classic pink granite soils of Fleurie, the vines yield a remarkably elegant red wine. Traditionally vinified using semi-carbonic maceration to preserve its vibrant fruit character, this wine showcases the delicate, floral side of Gamay, brimming with aromas of violets, ripe peaches, and red berries, underpinned by a silky, feminine structure that defines the finest crus of Beaujolais.

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.
