✨ Technical Specifications
Georges Duboeuf's Beaujolais Nouveau is the ultimate symbol of the harvest celebration, a wine that single-handedly sparked a global phenomenon. Crafted entirely from the Gamay grape grown in the granite-laced soils of the Beaujolais region in France, this vibrant red wine is produced using carbonic maceration. This specialized winemaking technique ferments whole grapes in a carbon dioxide-rich environment, extracting bright fruit flavors and vivid color while keeping tannins exceptionally low. Historically, Beaujolais Nouveau was a simple local wine celebrating the end of the harvest, but in the late 20th century, Georges Duboeuf famously championed the 'race' to deliver the first bottles to Paris and eventually the world, spawning the famous slogan 'Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!' It is a joyful, fruit-forward wine bursting with aromas of fresh red berries, banana, and bubblegum.
🍾 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.
