✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the legendary Georges Duboeuf, often hailed as the 'King of Beaujolais,' the 'Pr lude de la Perrire' is a vibrant expression of the Gamay grape. The name 'La Perrire' evokes the stony, granite-rich soils characteristic of the region's finest slopes, which impart a distinct mineral undertone to the wine. Historically, Beaujolais wines have been celebrated since Roman times, but it was Duboeuf's visionary passion in the late 20th century that brought these joyful, fruit-forward reds to the global stage. Utilizing traditional semi-carbonic maceration, this cuv e captures the pure essence of fresh red berries, violet aromas, and a lively, approachable structure that defines the classic Beaujolais style.
🍾 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.
