✨ Technical Specifications
Sourced from one of the most prestigious estates in the Moulin-à-Vent cru of Beaujolais, Domaine de la Vigne Romaine pays tribute to the ancient Roman legions who first cultivated vines on these historic, sun-drenched slopes. Under the stewardship of the legendary Georges Duboeuf, this wine showcases the absolute peak of the Gamay grape. The vineyard's terroir is defined by decomposed pink granite soils rich in manganese, which imparts an extraordinary structure, deep mineral complexity, and intense floral aromas of violet and wilted rose to the wine. Vinified using traditional methods, this Moulin-à-Vent beautifully bridges the gap between the vibrant fruit of Beaujolais and the elegant, savory complexity of aged Burgundian Pinot Noir.
🍾 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.
